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.

Abstract

introductionEffective assessment is essential for planning treatment in chronic pain management. This study compared patient satisfaction and perceived data accuracy between completing pre-assessment questionnaires at home versus in the clinic prior to a neuromodulation consultation.

methodsIn this prospective, single-center study, adult patients referred for neuromodulation assessment were randomized to complete intake questionnaires either at home ("Home" group) or upon arrival at the clinic ("Clinic" group). Prior the appointment, all participants completed a satisfaction survey assessing perceived accuracy, time efficiency, and preference.

resultsForty-two patients participated (Home: 17; Clinic: 25). Overall satisfaction was not significantly different between groups (88.2% vs. 64%,

conclusionsCompleting pre-assessment questionnaires at home resulted in higher perceived accuracy and time efficiency without compromising satisfaction. These findings support incorporating remote pre-visit assessments into chronic pain clinic workflows to optimize patient experience. CLINICAL
