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

Purpose: A systematic review to identify treatment approaches for the management of pain following peripheral nerve injury. Methods: A published literature search was performed for the concepts of peripheral nerve injury and pain management with related synonyms. The strategies were created using a combination of controlled vocabulary terms and keywords and were executed in Embase.com, Ovid-Medline All, and Scopus from database inception. Database searches were completed on August 22, 2023. Results: The initial search resulted in a total of 1,793 citations. In total, 724 duplicates were removed, leaving 1,069 unique citations remaining for analysis. This review excluded all papers that were not specific to pain following peripheral nerve injury. Case and cohort studies (n < 5) were also excluded. Thirty-two articles on pain management strategies after peripheral nerve injury remained, with years of publication ranging from 1981 to 2023. An additional four articles were identified by manual search. Of the 36 articles reviewed, 15 articles reported on the approach to the treatment of pain after a peripheral nerve injury, and the other 22 articles consisted of cohort and case series studies. Conclusions: There is a lack of literature describing efficacy of various treatment strategies for pain following peripheral nerve injuries. Few studies provide clear, stepwise clinical guidance for practicing physicians and other health care providers on the treatment of these complicated patients.
