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
objectivesChronic fracture pain (CFP) is a significant issue in patients with osteoporotic fractures (OFs) in convalescent rehabilitation wards (CRWs). This study aimed to examine the association between CFP and the Japanese short-form Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI-9) and verify the predictive validity of CSI-9 in patients with OF admitted to a CRW.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 71 patients with OF (median age: 85.3 years, 54 females). CFP was defined as pain of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score ≥4 persisting at discharge, despite >3 months post-fracture. Multiple logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to assess the association and predictive validity of the CSI-9 for CFP.
resultsThe incidence of CFP was 38.0%. CSI-9 was independently associated with CFP at admission (odds ratio = 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.24) and discharge (odds ratio = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.29). The area under the curve for the CSI-9 was 0.727 (95% CI: 0.605-0.850) at admission and 0.752 (95% CI: 0.637-0.867) at discharge, indicating fair predictive accuracy. The optimal cutoff values for the CSI-9 were 8 points at admission and 6 points at discharge.
conclusionsCSI-9 was independently associated with CFP and demonstrated moderate predictive accuracy in patients with OF in CRWs. Assessing central sensitization-related symptoms using the CSI-9 may be useful for evaluating and preventing CFP in this population. Further validation using large-scale prospective studies is required.
