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

How do we know if a service is working? How has the presentation and management of children with chronic pain changed over the last fifteen years and what demonstrates adherence to changing guidelines? This audit of a large tertiary pediatric chronic pain service assessed relevant multivariate data gathered over the last 15 years to try to give an insight and answer these questions. All patients with electronic patient records (EPR) referred to the chronic pain service in the West of Scotland from 2010 to 2025 were audited. Any patients not seen in clinic at least once were excluded. Patients were grouped into epochs based on their most recent or last pain clinic appointment. 728 patients were included. The audit found that the service is seeing a greater proportion of patients with primary chronic pain diagnoses, accounting for over 40% of patients in the last epoch (
