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

Arai N, Yoshimura M, Yamamoto S, Abe H, Hanayama K. Effectiveness of simple body image evaluation and manipulation for chronic pain: A case report. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2021; 12: 15-18. Introduction: We report a case in which chronic pain was successfully relieved using a new simple body image evaluation and body image manipulation based on the evaluation results. Case: The patient, a man in his 60s, accidentally sustained a left ulnar trunk fracture and left hand degloving injury at work. Occupational therapy for approximately 2 years could not completely relieve pain in the ring finger (allodynia), causing difficulty in changing clothes and driving a car. Images of the left and right ring fingers were compared and manipulated using bandages to make the two images similar. Allodynia was reduced (visual analog scale 10 cm → 3.6 cm), and the ability to change clothes and drive a car improved. Discussion: The bandage presumably changed the tactile and visual information inputs of size, weight, length, thickness, and thickness and reconstructed the perceptual-motor loop.
