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

1. The aim of this study was to investigate the dose-related effects of ibuprofen (placebo, 400 and 800 mg rac-ibuprofen [Aktren], administered orally) on experimentally-induced tonic and phasic pain. 2. Eighteen volunteers participated in this randomized, double-blind, three-fold cross-over study. Measurements were obtained before and 90 min after administration of the drugs. Phasic pain was produced by CO2 pulses of two concentrations applied to the right nostril. The left nostril was stimulated with a constant stream of dry air which produced a tonic painful sensation described as dull and burning. Subjects rated the intensity of the painful stimuli by means of visual analogue scales. In addition, chemo-somatosensory event-related potentials (CSSERP) were also recorded in response to phasic painful CO2 stimuli. 3. While mean intensity estimates of both tonic and phasic painful stimuli showed a non-significant dose-related decrease, a statistically significant dose-related decrease was observed for CSSERP amplitudes. 4. In conclusion, in order to investigate analgesic drug effects, CSSERP appear to be a more sensitive measure compared with psychophysically obtained responses.
