Long-Term Outcome of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome versus Limb Pain of Other Origin: Results From a Telephone Survey With up to 5-year Follow-Up.

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
Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a disabling condition requiring long-term treatment. This study evaluated long-term outcomes in CRPS patients compared to posttraumatic neuralgia (PN) and nociceptive limb pain (NLP) 1-5 years after diagnosis and treatment initiation in a tertiary clinic. Methods: Patients with CRPS lasting more than 1 year ( Results: PN patients had higher pain intensity compared to CRPS (NRS 5.7 ± 2.1 vs. 4.5 ± 2.6; main effect: Conclusions: Long-term impairment, work-related, and global disability in CRPS were similar to those of neuralgia and NLP patients treated in a tertiary pain clinic. Despite shorter disease duration, CRPS patients more often report severe disability, while pain is comparable to other chronic limb pain courses. More pronounced positive signs in CRPS at baseline are associated with poor outcomes. These findings emphasize the heterogeneous course of CRPS and the importance of individualized multidimensional approaches.
