Nociplastic pain: controversy of the concept.
Review in The Korean journal of pain, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Classically, pain can be of a nociceptive or neuropathic nature, which refers to non-neural or neural tissue lesions, respectively. Chronic pain in conditions such as migraine, fibromyalgia, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), is thought to perpetuate without a noxious input. Pain in such patients can be assigned neither to the nociceptive nor neuropathic category. Therefore, a third pain descriptor, named "nociplastic pain", has been adopted by the International Association for the Study of Pain. The current controversy-focused narrative review updates littledebated aspects of the new pain concept. The most disputable feature of nociplastic pain is its autonomous persistence, i.e., existence without causative tissue damage, presumably because of a malfunction of pain pathways and processing. This contradicts the fact that nociplastic pain is accompanied by persistent central sensitization that has been shown to require a continuing noxious input,
