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

Chronic pain is a major health challenge in older populations and approaches to improve ambulatory care are urgently needed. We conducted a pragmatic trial to test whether staff-directed interventions can improve chronic pain management in older community-dwelling adults and thereby improve their pain situation. Participants of 22 ambulatory nursing services (clusters) were allocated to 3 study arms: I1 (individual intervention with recommendations for each participant's physician and a newly trained pain nurse), I2 (digital training offered for participants' physicians and nursing staff) and CG (control group). Survey-based face to face interviews were held at the participants' homes. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and χ
