Nociplastic Pain in Endometriosis: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Endometriosis is an inflammatory chronic condition associated with nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain. Central sensitization (CS) is the primary nociplastic pain mechanism. However, there are currently no standardized methods for detecting CS or nociplastic pain. This review aims to identify available tools for characterizing CS/nociplastic pain in endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain. Following the PRISMA-P protocol, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and PsychINFO databases were searched on 23 April 2024, for the terms "endometriosis", "central sensitization", "nociplastic pain", "widespread pain", and "assessment tools". Publications were selected if they mentioned tool(s) for detecting nociplastic pain or CS in endometriosis patients. Information was extracted on study demographics, assessment types, and the tools used for detection. Of the 379 citations retrieved, 30 papers met the inclusion criteria. When working to identify CS and nociplastic pain, fourteen studies exclusively used patient-reported questionnaires, six used quantitative sensory testing (QST), two used clinical assessments, and eight used multiple approaches combining patient-reported questionnaires and clinical assessment. This review illustrates the diversity of tools currently used to identify CS and nociplastic pain in endometriosis patients. Further research is needed to evaluate their validity and to standardize methods in order to improve the accuracy of nociplastic pain identification and guide treatment.
