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: This review aims to emphasize the diagnostic value of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography in detecting and diagnosing central post-stroke pain (CPSP). Views: CPSP is a debilitating form of chronic neuropathic pain that develops in patients with a history of stroke. CPSP has a wide range of onset and non-specific clinical presentations, making it difficult to detect. Until now, CPSP has been considered a diagnosis of exclusion, often leading to delays in the initiation of the appropriate treatment plan. fMRI and DTI tractography are valuable tools for assessing cerebral metabolic activity and the structural characteristics of the spinothalamic tracts, respectively. By combining these sets of information, physicians can detect CPSP early and implement more effective treatment strategies. Conclusion: Diagnosing CPSP has been challenging for physicians due to its complex nature. However, fMRI and DTI have the potential in enabling earlier detection of CPSP, giving physicians more time to initiate treatment. This review highlights the capacities of fMRI and DTI in identifying alterations in the spinothalamic pathways associated with CPSP.
