Pharmacological Management of Adults with Chronic Non-Cancer Pain in General Practice.
Article in Pain and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
7 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 13 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Chronic pain is a public health priority that affects about 20% of the general population, causing disability and impacting productivity and quality of life. It is often managed in the primary care setting. Chronic pain management is most effective when the pain mechanism has been identified and addressed by appropriate therapy. This document provides an overview of pharmacological therapy for chronic non-cancer pain in the primary care setting, with the aim of improving treatment decisions based on the underlying pain mechanisms and pain neuroscience.
