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

Chronic pain is a dynamic, brain-wide condition that eludes effective management by conventional, static treatment approaches. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), traditionally perceived as a simple and generic modality, is on the verge of a significant transformation. Guided by advances in brain-state decoding and adaptive algorithms, TENS can evolve into a precision neuromodulation system tailored to individual needs. By integrating multimodal neuroimaging-including the spatial resolution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the temporal sensitivity of an Electroencephalogram (EEG), and the ecological validity of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-with real-time machine learning, we envision a paradigm shift from fixed stimulation protocols to personalized, closed-loop modulation. This comprehensive review outlines a translational framework to reengineer TENS from an open-loop device into a responsive, intelligent therapeutic platform. We examine the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven infrastructures, and ethical considerations essential for implementing this vision in clinical practice-not only for chronic pain management but also for broader neuroadaptive healthcare applications.
