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
Pain can be modulated on several different levels of the nociceptive system. Starting with the primary nociceptive afferents, which can be sensitized and desensitized, a major part of the nociceptive control takes place on the spinal level, where the information is modulated through interneurons with excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, before it is forwarded via projection neurons to the thalamus and different brain stem nuclei. Endogenous opioids play hereby an important role. The activity of the spinal neurons is, in turn, influenced by descending excitatory and inhibitory pathways from brainstem nuclei like the periaqueductal grey matter, the locus coeruleus and the rostral ventromedial medulla. Finally, these nuclei receive descending cortical information from prefrontal and limbic areas as well as the hypothalamus, which is accordingly associated with cognitive, emotional and autonomic functions of pain control. Virtually all therapeutic interventions for pain reduction, including therapeutic procedures in manual medicine, are based on the endogenous functions of these pain modulating systems.
