Managing chronic pain in older people.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Management of pain in older people should follow the biopsychosocial model, addressing the heterogeneity in their physiological changes, psychological and cognitive aspects, and impact on their social interactions. When deciding on pharmacological treatment, special attention should be given to the side effect profile, drug-drug and drug-disease interactions, as well as route and timing of medication administration. The principle of 'start low, go slow' should be followed, and regular reviews of drug effectiveness and tolerability are required. With the adjunct of non-pharmacological interventions, the treatment plan should be tailored to individual needs, with the aim to ameliorate the burden of pain while preserving quality of life.
