A new vision of the role of the cerebellum in pain processing.
Review in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The cerebellum is a structure in the suprasegmental nervous system classically known for its involvement in motor functions such as motor planning, coordination, and motor learning. However, with scientific advances, other functions of the cerebellum, such as cognitive, emotional, and autonomic processing, have been discovered. Currently, there is a body of evidence demonstrating the involvement of the cerebellum in nociception and pain processing. The aim of this review is to present the current literature on the anatomical, physiological, and functional aspects of the cerebellum in pain processing and suggest functional mechanisms of pain processing based on the cerebellum and its connections with other brain structures. To achieve this, searches were conducted in databases to identify relevant studies on the topic. Studies with relevant data and information were collected and summarized. Current literature demonstrates that the cerebellum receives nociceptive afferents from different pathways and exhibits activity in different regions including the vermis, hemispheres, and deep cerebellar nuclei in pain processing. Through its connections with different brain regions, it is possible that the cerebellum participates in the multidimensional processing of pain, which may make it a potential therapeutic target for pain treatment.
