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

Introduction: Prevalence rates for cancer-related pain are 40-50%. Provision of multi-disciplinary chronic pain services for those with cancer-related pain is poorly understood. Aim: To identify provision of multi-disciplinary chronic pain services for those with cancer-related pain across England. Methods: Acute/Hospital and Community NHS Trusts in England ( Results: In total, 171 NHS Trusts responded. Almost half, ( Conclusions: People with cancer-related pain appear to have limited access to multi-disciplinary chronic pain support in England. However, lack of standardised methods of coding and recording cancer-related pain as reasons for attending multi-disciplinary chronic pain services mean reporting accurate figures is challenging. It is essential that there is an accurate reporting system so the scale of cancer-related pain can be understood to help guide the provision and development of services, education and research.
