Review in Frontiers in molecular neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Purpose: To explore the potential therapeutic strategies of different types of neuropathic pain (NP) and to summarize the cutting-edge novel approaches for NP treatment based on the clinical trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Methods: The relevant clinical trials were searched using ClinicalTrials.gov Dec 08, 2022. NP is defined as a painful condition caused by neurological lesions or diseases. All data were obtained and reviewed by the investigators to confirm whether they were related to the current topic. Results: A total of 914 trials were included in this study. They were divided into painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), sciatica (SC), peripheral nerve injury-related NP (PNI), trigeminal neuralgia (TN), chemotherapy-induced NP (CINP), general peripheral NP (GPNP) and spinal cord injury NP (SCI-NP). Potential novel therapeutic strategies, such as novel drug targets and physical means, were discussed for each type of NP. Conclusion: NP treatment is mainly dominated by drug therapy, and physical means have become increasingly popular. It is worth noting that novel drug targets, new implications of conventional medicine, and novel physical means can serve as promising strategies for the treatment of NP. However, more attention needs to be paid to the challenges of translating research findings into clinical practice.
