Cuff algometry induces large yet variable conditioned pain modulation effects.
Article in Pain reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) paradigms provide a proxy measure of activity in the descending pain modulatory system. Cuff-pressure algometry offers a standardised CPM assessment tool although comprehensive validation in large samples is lacking. Objective: To characterise cuff-pressure-algometry assessed CPM and its test-retest reliability in a large healthy control sample. Methods: Cuff-algometry CPM data from 324 healthy participants across 8 studies were pooled. Conditioned pain modulation magnitude was calculated as pain detection threshold (PDT) and pain tolerance threshold (PTT) changes, assessed on the dominant leg in the presence and absence of a painful "conditioning" cuff stimulus on the contralateral leg. Results: Conditioned pain modulation effects were robust for both changes in PDT and PTT ( Conclusion: Despite producing large group-level CPM effects,
