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

Neuropathic pain is a challenging condition. Despite the immense progress made in the pathophysiology and treatment of such conditions, so much work still has to be done. New frontiers previously unexplored are now objects of study with exciting results, mainly regarding neuromodulation and optogenetics. This review explores the already known pathophysiology and the clinical and surgical treatment in the light of evidence-based medicine. Additionally, new concepts and insights are discussed, presenting the hope for the development of new paradigms in the treatment of neuropathic pain.
