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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesCurrent research on the treatment of chronic pain in children suggests an increasing trend internationally in the quantity as well as invasiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. The objective of this research was to examine the interventions received by patients before starting specialized inpatient pain treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective survey was conducted analyzing patient files from a tertiary children's pain center from 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 (N = 585). In addition to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, pain and patients' characteristics were collected. The identified measures were subsequently evaluated by an interdisciplinary expert panel regarding their invasiveness, potential risk and degree of mental burden.
resultsAn increase in diagnostic measures and medication was found up to 2012. Thereafter, a decreasing trend was identified (χ
conclusionsEvidence for an increase in diagnostic and therapeutic measures in chronic pain was found up to 2012. Patients presenting with certain complaints receive comparably more invasive, risky and burdensome measures.
