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

Background: As the opioid epidemic claims over 200 lives per day, there is an urgent need to increase access to evidence-based, non-pharmacologic modalities for pain management. Objective: To design, implement, and evaluate an integrative medicine group visit (IMGV) facilitator training program to support group visits incorporating mind-body therapies (eg, acupuncture, meditation, tai chi, yoga) for chronic musculoskeletal pain within the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LAC DHS). Methods: Prospective cohort pre-post study with mixed methods formative evaluation. Fifty-nine clinical staff from 3 LAC DHS medical centers and associated clinics enrolled in a 40-hour curriculum including online modules, case discussions, and onsite skills workshops in 2020. We used the Results: 49% of staff members completed the course, primarily physicians (37%) and rehabilitation therapists (22%). Most participants (80%) were female and 28% more non-physicians completed the final exam than physicians ( Conclusion: Overall, the IMGV facilitator training program was acceptable, feasible with program modifications under pandemic conditions, and increased staff confidence to teach others nonpharmacologic chronic pain management.
