[Health services research in acute pain medicine : Where do we come from in Germany?]
Review in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUp to the early 2000s the need for optimization in the treatment of acute pain in hospitals was highlighted. Only a few successes were achieved in the optimization process. As the acute pain care in Germany remained persistently unsatisfactory, the first health services research projects in pain medicine were initiated. These were intended to achieve improvements in patient care.
aimTo illustrate the beginnings of health services research in the field of pain medicine in Germany the research projects "Pain-free hospital" and "Action alliance pain-free City of Münster" as well as the certification initiative Certkom are described. MATERIAL AND
methodsAn analysis of the current state of pain care for patients and interdisciplinary pain management, the derivation of optimization measures, their implementation and subsequent evaluation were carried out in all the projects presented in the sense of a complex intervention.
resultsAll the projects could achieve improvements in patient care through a systematic survey of the current situation, targeted planning and the introduction of optimization measures. Corresponding evaluations could demonstrate these results.
conclusionThe systematic approach in the projects with the collation of scientific data in real-life care has achieved optimization in acute pain management. The foundations were laid for further healthcare research in pain treatment in Germany; however, the projects also revealed limitations in the inclusion of vulnerable patient groups.
