Placebo effects: a new paradigm and relevance to psychiatry.
Article in International psychiatry : bulletin of the Board of International Affairs of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Systematic evaluations show that placebo treatments can have large effects, sometimes larger than those of 'evidence-based treatments'. This is the 'efficacy paradox'. The neurobiology of placebo effects is being mapped out. Placebo effects are no less real or, in some illnesses, clinically important than the effects of direct biomechanical or pharmacological interventions. The technical model of medicine seeks impersonal technologies that can be applied independently of context and person. This approach has had spectacular success in the treatment of
