Factors predicting outcomes from chronic pain management interventions.
Review in BMJ medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Chronic pain is the leading cause of years lost to disability worldwide, by a large margin, affecting 20-34% of the world's population. Chronic pain is the target for an increasing number of invasive and expensive treatments, supported by different levels of evidence. At a time when personalised medicine, driven in part by the growth of artificial intelligence, is surging, a scoping review on the factors that affect pain outcomes for procedural interventions is needed. A scoping review is important because placebo controlled trials for the most commonly used treatments consistently show small-to-moderate effect sizes of <0.5 that are often overshadowed by the placebo effect. In this article, personal characteristics, and social and clinical factors that influence surgical and non-surgical procedure pain and functional outcomes are reviewed, their intersectionality is briefly explored, and the evidence base for how dealing with these factors can influence outcomes is outlined.
