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

Post-injection sciatic neuropathy (PISN) from an inadvertent intramuscular injection in the gluteal region is a type of iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury. Patients with neuropathic pain following PISN frequently experience disability leading to restrictions in daily activities and pain, which may be resistant to conventional treatments and physiotherapy in some cases. To date, minimal invasive procedures for neuropathic pain have been performed with various medications at the site of lesion. Herein, we report three adult male cases with PISN-associated neu- ropathic pain who were resistant to conservative management and were treated with fluoroscopy-guided transsacral block.
