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
introductionThe Mainz Pain Staging System (MPSS), which has been validated primarily in middle-aged and chronic low back pain patients, is designed to predict prognosis and control the use of resources at baseline. In multi-morbid and functionally impaired patients (geriatric patients) with multiple causes of pain, it is unclear whether this instrument can be implemented at all and whether it permits statements to be made on the severity of pain chronification. MATERIALS AND
methodsTherefore, 173 consecutive patients with pain were classified in the second week of inpatient geriatric treatment according to the MPSS. For validation, the questions from the "Pain interview for geriatric patients" (SgP) were used. In addition, the MPSS was compared with the personal history of the duration of the main pain.
resultsWith the exception of the questions on medication intake, the items in the MPSS could be collected predominantly by self-assessment. Even with current analgesic therapy, MPSS has significant correlations with sensory, affective, and emotional dimensions of pain from the SgP. The data on duration correlated with only one category of MPSS (spatial aspects of pain).
conclusionMPSS can be used in multi-morbid and functionally impaired elderly patients undergoing inpatient treatment. Chronification features are more pronounced at higher stages than at lower levels. Only one category of the MPSS cannot be collected by self-assessment. The possibilities of prognosis estimation and resource control using the MPSS should be further investigated for these patients.
