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

Pain is a complex interplay of psychological, immunological, and sensory experiential factors that leads to discomfort and physical suffering unique to each person. Uncontrolled pain greatly affects quality of life, a person's ability to function in society, and often results in increased healthcare costs. In order to appropriately treat a patient, knowledge of the different types of pain and various combinations of therapies is imperative. Cryoneurolysis is an important adjunctive therapy in pain management. When used in the appropriate clinical setting, it can decrease a patient's pain, opioid consumption, and improve quality of life. This article reviews common targets for cryoneurolysis based on patient pathology and discusses anatomic considerations to ensure the most efficacious and safe patient outcomes.
