High frequency dorsal column spinal cord stimulation for management of erythromelalgia.

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
Erythromelalgia is a rare hereditary channelopathy affecting the Nav1.7 sodium channel. Patients afflicted with this condition suffer from pain in their hands and feet, with vasomotor changes including flushing and redness to the distal upper and lower extremities. Current treatment modalities for this condition include pharmacological therapies (neuropathic medications), behavioural interventions, lumbar epidural infusions with local anaesthetics and sympathetic nerve blocks. Despite these treatments, many patients may have refractory pain. In these situations, there may be a role for dorsal column spinal cord stimulation for management of their pain. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old man with 9-year history of refractory erythromelalgia successfully treated with paresthesia-free dorsal column spinal cord stimulation.
