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
introductionSickle cell pain crises (SCPCs) are debilitating pain events that significantly impact quality of life in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), but no fit-for-purpose tool exists to capture patients' experiences of them. We developed a patient-reported outcome (PRO) tool to capture patients' SCPC experiences and ensured its content validity through cognitive debriefing (CD) interviews with adolescents and adults with SCD.
methodsIn this non-interventional, qualitative research study, a targeted literature review (TLR) was conducted to create preliminary items and a preliminary conceptual model (CM) of SCPCs in patients with SCD. Next, an item-generation session was held with clinical experts, followed by hybrid concept elicitation (CE) and CD interviews with patients over three waves; the preliminary items and CM were refined iteratively after each wave. SCPC and impact disturbance ratings were summarised using descriptive statistics. CD responses were analysed on the basis of a semi-structured discussion guide.
resultsThe TLR identified 12 articles describing 47 concepts related to pain, anatomical sites, duration, frequency, and impacts of SCPCs. In CE interviews, patients described various aspects of their SCPC experience, including anatomical sites affected, pain characteristics, and duration. CD interviews confirmed the content validity of the eDiary, with patients finding most questions and response options clear and useful. The diary was modified on the basis of patient feedback per wave.
conclusionThe SCPC eDiary is a novel PRO instrument that captures the frequency, severity, and impact of home-managed pain crises. Future studies should assess its real-world use and performance in clinical settings.
