Percutaneous Needle Electrolysis Reverses Neurographic Signs of Nerve Entrapment by Induced Fibrosis in Mice.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Nerve entrapments such as carpal tunnel syndrome are the most common mononeuropathies. The lesional mechanism includes a scarring reaction that causes a vascular compromise. The most effective treatment is surgery, which consists of removing the scarred area, thus reverting the vascular impairment. In the present study, a more conservative therapeutic approach has been undertaken to release the nerve by means of galvanic current (GC) applied with a needle: percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE). For this purpose, a mouse model of sciatic nerve entrapment has been created using albumin coagulated by glutaraldehyde (albumin 35% and glutaraldehyde 2% volume applied, 10
