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

Pain is one of the main symptoms reported by sick children, particularly by those suffering from cancer. Opioids are very useful in controlling this symptom but they are burdened with significant side effects that limit their use in children. Buprenorphine is a strong opioid that, due to its particular pharmacological characteristics, ensures excellent pain relief with fewer side effects than other opioids. The transdermal formulation allows for good pain control associated with optimal compliance by patients and few limitations on daily life. Unfortunately, transdermal buprenorphine use remains off-label for the control of chronic pain in children; therefore, it is desirable that new studies can validate its use in the paediatric population. This review aims to analyse the clinical advantages of transdermal buprenorphine in the paediatric population and the possible side effects registered in daily clinical practice.
