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

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a neuromodulation technology that has emerged as a valid treatment for chronic intractable neuropathic pain. After conventional tonic SCS, new waveforms of stimulation, like high frequency (HF), have proved that they can provide safe and effective pain relief. In addition, SCS is now being utilized more broadly as a potential treatment for a range of indications, including motor disorders and spasticity. Our study presents a retrospective analysis of 20 patients with heterogenous aetiologies of neuropathic pain treated with HF stimulation, after a standardized protocol in a temporary trial. We observed a significant improvement in pain relief according to comparisons of numerical rating scale (NRS) scores before the procedure, after the clinical trial and at latest follow-up. Two unusual clinical cases were also reported, and the pertinent literature was discussed.
