Management of neuropathic pain induced by cubital tunnel syndrome using pulsed radiofrequency: Two case reports.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
rationaleRecently, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) has been applied to alleviate neuropathic pain caused by various peripheral nerve pathologies. This report describes and discusses the cases of 2 patients with cubital tunnel syndrome who responded well to PRF for the management of neuropathic pain. PATIENT CONCERNS: Patients 1 and 2 presented with numeric rating scale (NRS) scores of 4 and 3 for neuropathic pain due to right cubital tunnel syndrome, respectively. DIAGNOSES: Cubital tunnel syndrome was confirmed by nerve conduction study/electromyography.
interventionsPRF stimulation of the right ulnar nerve was performed at the medial epicondyle level under the guidance of ultrasound. OUTCOMES: At the 2-week and 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up assessments after the PRF procedure, the pain of patient 1 was completely relieved. In patient 2, at the 2-week follow-up, the pain was completely relieved, and at the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up assessments, the NRS score was 1. No adverse effects were observed in either patient. LESSONS: PRF on the ulnar nerve seems to be a useful tool for treating neuropathic pain due to cubital tunnel syndrome.
