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.

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.

Abstract

Chronic pain is common and is associated with significant costs and suffering. Therapeutic hypnosis has shown promise as an effective chronic pain treatment, but access to this intervention is extremely limited. Digital applications that offer therapeutic hypnosis, if found to be effective, could address this access problem. The primary aim of the current paper is to describe the results of two studies (Study 1 = individuals with low back pain; Study 2 = individuals with mixed chronic pain conditions) conducted to evaluate the feasibility of the digital hypnosis interactive media application for providing therapeutic hypnosis. Fifty participants in both studies were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) 8 weeks of access to the application or (2) 4 weeks of no access followed by 4 weeks of access. Five feasibility and eight clinical outcomes were assessed. The findings indicate that the application is feasible, and that additional work to develop and evaluate the application is warranted. Both studies were prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT06050083).
