Duloxetine, an antidepressant with analgesic properties - a preliminary analysis.
Review in Romanian journal of anaesthesia and intensive care, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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
Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are second-line antidepressants largely used because of their good tolerance and their reduced side effects. Two of these drugs, duloxetine and venlafaxine, are used also in chronic pain management. In this review we present recent data regarding duloxetine's effects on the central nervous system, linked to acute pain management, and their efficiency in reducing postoperative chronic pain. The drug's efficacy results from its modulating effect on the descending inhibitory pain pathways and the inhibition of the nociceptive input. There are already several studies in favor of the analgesic properties of duloxetine. However, further and larger randomized studies are necessary in order to clarify duloxetine efficiency in acute postoperative settings, and thereafter on persistent chronic postoperative pain.
