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

Current scientific reports on pain pharmacotherapy focus on the side effects of opioid medications related to dysregulation of the oxidative-antioxidant balance and immunomodulation. Initial observations concerned the use of opioids in the treatment of acute postoperative and cancer pain. Little is known about oxidative stress modulation in multi-modal opioid-based analgesia for chronic non-cancer pain. The aim of this study was to describe oxidative stress using plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidative capacity (TOC), to assess whether these metrics are dependent on pain intensity and the scheme of analgesia. The study group consisted of patients with chronic low back pain, who were divided under the following treatments: multi-modal opioid-based therapy (n = 42), monotherapy with opioids (n = 28), and the control group (n = 11). A significantly lower TAC was observed in the study group compared to the monotherapy and control groups (220 µmol/L vs. 295 µmol/L,
