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

Neuropathic pain is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Scientific studies have shown that neuropathic pain is the result of complex altered signalling processes in the peripheral and central nervous system. Current forms of treatment of neuropathic pain are causally oriented but also aim at symptomatic analgesia by pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods. Furthermore, psychological pain management techniques are used in a supportive role. This review summarizes the contemporary diagnostics of neuropathic pain using frequent diseases as examples and presents the evidence from randomized controlled trials on the treatment of neuropathic pain. Treatment guidelines for pharmacological management of neuropathic pain include evidence-based use of antidepressants, anticonvulsants, opioids, capsaicin and lidocaine.
