Interoceptive accuracy is related to the psychological mechanisms of the burning mouth syndrome: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDifferent perspectives are needed to understand the pathophysiology of burning mouth syndrome (BMS), including physiological and psychological standpoints. The significance of interoception in chronic pain has been suggested. However, few studies have investigated this relationship in BMS. Therefore, we examined the role of interoception in BMS.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study. BMS patients (N = 64) participated in the study. We used interoceptive accuracy (IAc) based on the heartbeat counting task. Then, participants were divided into high and low IAc groups, and their scores on clinical assessment including pain and psychological evaluation were compared.
resultsThe Visual Analogue Scale scores indicating pain in low IAc patients, but not high IAc patients, were positively correlated with the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) Scores.
conclusionsInteroception might play a role in the pathophysiology of BMS.
