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

backgroundThe symptomatology in Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is complex and it should be considered in accordance with a biopsychosocial model.

objectivesTo evaluate the multidimensional aspects of pain with a complete battery of tests and to analyse its relationship with potential predictors such as mood disorders, sleep and quality of life.

methodsForty patients with BMS versus an equal number of age and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled. The VAS, SF-MPQ, BPI, PD-Q, BDI-II, STAI, PSQI, ESS, SF-36 and OHIP-14 were administered.

resultsThe scores of the VAS, SF-MPQ, BPI, PD-Q, BDI-II, STAI, PSQI, SF-36 and OHIP-14 were statistically significantly higher in the BMS patients than the controls (p < .001**). A strongly linear correlation between pain (VAS, SF-MPQ, BPI and PD-Q) and disease onset (STAI, BDI-II, PSQI and sub-items of SF-36 and OHIP-14) was found. In the multiple regression analysis, the contributions of the BDI-II and OHIP-14 were found to be statistically significant with the SF-MPQ, PD-Q and BPI in terms of severity and interference, while the contributions of the STAI and sleep were found to be statistically significant with the SF-MPQ and BPI in terms of severity and interference, respectively.

conclusionsPain tests are differently correlated with mood and quality of life. Therefore, a complete analysis of the patient requires several tools to better understand the multidimensional aspects of pain in BMS.
