1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSeverely disabling chronic pain affects approximately half a million children in Germany. If there is a lack of response to unimodal treatment, an inpatient interdisciplinary multimodal pain treatment (IMPT) can be considered.

objectiveThis review article describes the supply situation of pediatric inpatient IMPT in Germany and presents the current evidence on the effectiveness. MATERIAL AND

methodsBased on a systematic literature search, studies addressing the effectiveness of pediatric inpatient IMPT in Germany were identified. In addition, further sources were used to extract information on pediatric IMPT treatment centers in Germany in order to describe the treatment approaches, the qualification of personnel and characteristics of patients.

resultsThere are four pediatric pain centers in Germany that are specialized in inpatient IMPT for children and adolescents. Treatment duration ranges between 3 and 4 weeks. The multimodal treatment is carried out by a multiprofessional team and is generally available for patients up to 18 years. The majority of patients are female. The effectiveness of pediatric IMPT in Germany was investigated up to 4 years after treatment. Positive effects were shown for pain characteristics and also for the emotional burden. Additional treatment modules can facilitate further optimization of treatment effects.

conclusionFurther research on the effectiveness of IMPT in Germany is important in order to refine and optimize the available treatment programs.
