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

backgroundAs yet, there is limited research that can identify factors that differentiate between painful and nonpainful neuropathies after traumatic nerve injury. The aim of this study was to compare subjects with pain and without pain, all after operative nerve repair in the upper extremities.

methodsSubjects in both groups (pain, n = 69; painless, n = 62) underwent clinical assessment of sensory nerve function and psychophysical tests: quantitative sensory testing and conditioned pain modulation (CPM). Conditioned pain modulation was assessed by pain ratings to 120 seconds pressure stimuli administered before and after a 60 seconds noxious 4°C cold conditioning stimulus (CS). Time of recovery (time off) of pain intensity from peak VAS

resultsThere were no significant differences between groups for CPM (

conclusionRecovery after the pain induced by cold CS indicates changes in central processing of pain and provides a potential measurement of endogenous pain modulation in individuals with chronic neuropathic pain.
