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

backgroundPersistent shoulder pain is common, and it is associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare costs. Approximately 21 to 50 % of people with shoulder pain treated in primary healthcare recover within six months. It is not known why at least half do not recover. One possibility is the manner underlying mechanisms related to persistent shoulder pain are managed. Being able to determine the predominant pain phenotype in people with persistent shoulder pain (i.e., nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic pain) together with their underlying mechanism and tailoring management accordingly may improve outcomes for people seeking care for persistent shoulder pain. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) recently developed clinical criteria and a grading system for the identification of nociplastic pain.

objectiveIn this paper, we aim to provide suggestions to clinicians to assist in the evaluation of pain phenotypes, underlying mechanisms, and their causal relationships. DISCUSSION: Based on the IASP clinical criteria and grading system for nociplastic pain, we outline pain phenotype evaluation and provide a clinical reasoning framework. To facilitate this, three case studies involving people living with persistent shoulder pain are presented.
