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

Purpose: The goal of manuscript is to summarize and synthesize the body of literature on Transitional Pain Services and Clinics (TPS/Cs), highlighting models, outcomes, and implementation considerations. Methods: Using a published, Artificial Intelligence-assisted, interactive algorithm, PubMed, CINAHL, and SCOPUS listed literature were searched for all articles related to TPS/Cs published in the last 10 years. Results: 58 relevant articles were identified and grouped into six topics. Conclusion: Multiple models of TPS/Cs were identified. The most commonly described were multidisciplinary clinics of pain physicians, nurses, psychologists, physiologists, and other health-related personnel. Mostly, retrospective literature suggests that TPS/Cs can effectively bridge acute postoperative pain management with sustained long-term care, particularly for patients at higher risk of chronic postsurgical pain and opioid misuse. More prospective and randomized trials are needed.
