[Lipedema pain-the neglected symptom].
Review in Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pain, which is a central characteristic of lipedema, allows differentiation from other fat tissue diseases. The analysis of the multiple aspects of pain beyond a quantification of pain scale scores could make molecular disease and therapy mechanisms accessible. Lipedema pain is causally linked to lipedema fat. First robust data show peripheral sensory changes. Tissue weight and systemic inflammation are becoming less likely as causes for the experianced pain. Furthermore, genetics and hormonal influences need to be investigated. Lipedema pain cannot currently be treated with drugs. Physical therapy shows transient relief. Liposuction has been shown to have a long-term effect on pain. The potential of modulating the perception of pain with psychotherapeutic approaches is emerging as a potentially effective new therapeutic approach.
