[Effects of preoperative neurobiological education on postoperative outcome : A systematic review].
Synthesis in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPain may have a crucial impact on human quality of life. An increase in knowledge about neurobiological and neuroscientific processes alone can positively influence the subjective perception of pain as well as psychometric variables. There are different forms of preoperative patient education with the aim to explain postoperative pain. Based on current literature, preoperative biomedical education has a low level of evidence. It can increase the preoperative anxiety and stress level of patients, which has a negative impact on the postoperative outcome. In contrast, the neuroscientific understanding considers postoperative pain from the viewpoints of the plasticity of the nervous system and involves sensitizational processes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. PURPOSE: To systematically investigate short- and long-term effects of pain neuroscience education (PNE) in patients before spine surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe literature search involved a search of medical databases according to the PI(C)O scheme, and 83 articles were shortlisted. Nine articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were finally included.
resultsPreoperative pain neuroscience education can positively influence postoperative catastrophizing tendencies as well as postoperative kinesiophobia but has no influence on postoperative pain and function.
conclusionPreoperative reduction of anxiety and pain-maintaining factors mainly on the psychological and social level may have a positive effect on postoperative subjective pain evaluation, which is reflected in a reduction of anxiety, catastrophizing tendencies, and a lower utilization of postoperative health care services.
