Tapentadol, Buprenorphine, and Levorphanol for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Current pain and headache reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewThe objective of this systematic review is to present the available evidence for the utilization of the atypical opioids tapentadol, buprenorphine, and levorphanol for the treatment of neuropathic pain. RECENT
findingsIn total, 1619 articles were retrieved of which 10 studies were included. Of 5 included studies pertaining to tapentadol, 4 studies show tapentadol monotherapy to be effective for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy or chronic, radiating low back pain. Of the 3 studies included for buprenorphine, only one was a randomized controlled trial found not to have a statistically significant reduction in pain with TD buprenorphine likely due to very high withdrawal rates during the trial. Only 2 case reports were included from the available literature for levorphanol providing low-quality anecdotal evidence. The role of tapentadol, buprenorphine, and levorphanol for neuropathic pain conditions requires robust research including randomized controlled trials to evaluate their efficacy and safety.
