1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe Bregma test as an investigation of sensorimotor deficits has not yet been broadly applied. It is considered to be a test for the presentation of general sensorimotor abilities in a standing position. Pain patients often show disorders in physical perception and movement.

objectiveAre there differences in the point prevalence of the Bregma test in patients (with and without diagnosis F45.41) or healthy persons? In a second part the development of pathological Bregma test values was observed in the context of an interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy (IMST). MATERIAL AND

methodsPoint prevalence of pathological test results in 3 groups, total n = 218. Monitoring of the course of an IMST at the beginning and end of a day clinic setting, n = 60.

resultsHealthy and "non-F45.41" patients showed a <15% frequency of pathological Bregma test results. In "F45.41 patients" the frequency was >50%. Within the framework of an IMST the pathological movements could be reduced to approximately 33%.

conclusionIncreased body perception disorders are known in chronic pain patients. The Bregma test is able to detect at least some of the patients with sensorimotor deficits. Chronic pain patients significantly differ from healthy or other patient groups. The deficits in the controllability of myofascial tissue (coordination) can also be improved during a 4-week IMST.
