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

This preclinical systematic review aimed to determine the effectiveness of different types and doses of exercise on pain behavior and biomarkers in preclinical models of focal neuropathic pain. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and Cochrane library from inception to November 2022 for preclinical studies evaluating the effect of exercise compared to control interventions on neuropathic pain behavior after experimental sciatic nerve injury. If possible, data were meta-analyzed using random effect models with inverse-variance weighting. Thirty-seven studies were included and 26 meta-analyzed. Risk of bias (SYRCLE tool) remained unclear in most studies and reporting quality (CAMARADES) was variable. Exercise reduced mechanical (standardized mean differences [SMD] .53 (95% CI .31, .74), P = .0001, I
