Ultrasound-Guided Hydrodissection of an Entrapped Saphenous Nerve After Lower Extremity Varicose Vein Stripping: A Case Report.
Article in A&A practice, 2020. 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
A 78-year-old woman complained of numbness, tingling, and pain in the left leg 6 months after greater saphenous vein stripping. Ultrasonography identified a mass adjacent to the saphenous nerve at the scar. Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection separated the mass from the nerve. The pain disappeared after hydrodissection, and the patient remained pain free for 3 days. The visual analog pain scale decreased from 80 (before treatment) to 60 three days later. The hydrodissection was repeated weekly for a total of 8 times, and the pain completely resolved 4 months later. Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection is effective to treat nerve entrapment after lower extremity varicose vein stripping.
