[Pronounced symptom deterioration in complex regional pain syndrome type II after isolated application of a highly concentrated capsaicin patch. A case report].
Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Topical 8 % capsaicin is an established therapeutic option for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain. In accordance with the internationally accepted definition, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type II is a form of neuropathic pain so that capsaicin plasters represent a treatment option. However, for the treatment of CRPS it is recommended that painful stimuli should be avoided but capsaicin induces a strong nociceptive stimulation and so its use is at present controversial. We report on the course of such an application in a patient who developed CRPS type II with intractable neuropathic pain after hallux surgery. As a result of a single treatment with capsaicin a pronounced recurrence developed with central nervous symptoms.
