Effect of Pulsing Digital Heating Devices on Skin Parameters, Subjective Pain, Mood, and Anxiety.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A common pitfall of many conventional heat therapy methods is the propensity to lose heat over time and the need for reheating and reapplication. Pain-relieving digital heating devices are now available that can be held in place on the body via adhesive or magnet and provide pulsed heat. However, the safety of such devices among different ages and skin types must be established. We conducted a prospective, open-label study to assess the effect of three consecutive thirty-minute treatment cycles on skin parameters and pain. Effects on mood and anxiety were secondarily assessed. 22 adult participants (20 female, 2 male; mean 58 ± 17.63 years) were recruited. The participants attended one visit with heating device intervention and a follow-up visit after 7-10 days. A 97% significant increase in transepidermal water loss was observed immediately following intervention (
