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

STUDY

designA prospective observational study.

objectiveTo evaluate the impact on surgical outcomes of preoperative neuropathic pain (NeP) assessed by the painDETECT questionnaire (PDQ) administered to participants undergoing cervical decompression surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).

methodsParticipating patients were separated into the Non-NeP group (preoperative PDQ score ≤ 12), and NeP group (score ≥ 13). They were asked to complete a booklet questionnaire, including NRS for pain, the Short Form-12 for PCS and MCS, EQ-5D, NDI, and COMI-Neck, at baseline and 1 year after surgery. The JOA score for DCM and radiological changes were also evaluated. Propensity scores were used for the generalized linear model to adjust the patients' backgrounds.

resultsOf the 116 patients recruited, 105 completed the one-year follow-up. In this study, 31 (29.5%) and 74 (70.5%) patients in the NeP and non-NeP groups, respectively, were compared. Except for the higher female ratio in the NeP group (64.6% vs 33.2%,

conclusionsThe preoperative NeP, assessed by PDQ, was observed in approximately 30% of patients with DCM who underwent decompression surgery. The presence of NeP was associated with worse pre- and postoperative NDI/EQ-5D/COMI-Neck scores.
