Identifying and Managing Nociplastic Pain in Individuals With Rheumatic Diseases: A Narrative Review.
Review in Arthritis care & research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Chronic pain is a burdensome and prevalent symptom in individuals with rheumatic disease. The International Association for the Study of Pain classifies pain into 3 descriptive categories: nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic. These categories are intended to provide information about the mechanisms underlying the pain, which can then serve as targets for drug or non-drug treatments. This review describes the 3 types of pain as they relate to patients seen by rheumatology health care providers. The focus is on identifying individuals with nociplastic pain, which can either occur in isolation as in fibromyalgia, or as a comorbidity in individuals with primary autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Practical information about how rheumatology health care providers can approach and manage chronic pain is also provided.
