Cerebral cortical hemodynamic metrics to aid in assessing pain levels? A pilot study of functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Introduction: Establishing an accurate way to quantify pain is one of the most formidable tasks in neuroscience and medical practice. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be utilized to detect the brain's reaction to pain. The study sought to assess the neural mechanisms of the wrist-ankle acupuncture transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation analgesic bracelet ( Methods: The participants (mean age 36.6 ± 7.2 years) with the cervical-shoulder syndrome (CSS) underwent pain testing prior to, 1 min following, and 30 min after the left point Jianyu treatment. The Results: We discovered that HbO concentrations in the prefrontal cortex significantly increased when CSS patients were exposed to painful stimuli at the cerebral cortex level. The second pain test saw a considerable decrease in the average HbO change amount in the prefrontal cortex when Discussion: This study revealed that the frontal polar (FP) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were linked to the analgesic modulation activated by the
