"Self-Healing": A Novel and Integrated Multimodal Concept for the Management of Musculoskeletal Pain.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Objective: Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, particularly low back pain and osteoarthritis, are a leading cause of disability worldwide. The number of people with MSK conditions is set to increase over the coming decades highlighting the need for better tools for both patients and medical practitioners. A recent paper by McSwan, Gudin and co-authors introduces the concept of the innate ability of the body to "self-heal" through five body networks, whilst being optimized by integrative multi-modal medicine and natural remedies ranging from the physical to psychological, that are starting to be incorporated into clinical management and treatment guidelines. Conclusion: "Self-Healing" is a new concept for MSK pain management and reinforces the potential for integrating multi-modal medicine into current care through open dialogue between patients and healthcare providers.
