    Figure 2: Effects of static magnets for treating pain. The outcome is the weighted mean difference in pain reduction (relative to baseline) on a 100-mm visual analogue scale, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The vertical line represents no difference between magnets and placebo. SD = standard deviation.
