Review of Radiofrequency Ablation for Peripheral Nerves.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2021. 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
purpose of reviewRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become an increasingly widespread treatment tool for various chronic pain syndromes within the last two decades with the majority of publications on the topic coming after 2006. Not only are clinicians using RFA to treat more peripheral nerve pain syndromes but the technology itself is evolving quickly to the point that it is nearly impossible to stay abreast on the complexity of such a diversely utilized instrument. This review summarizes studies that focus on the use of RFA for peripheral nerve neurotomy and anatomical studies regarding RFA published between 2015 and 2020. RECENT
findingsTopics in this review include anatomical regions or nerves of the body published since 2015. Significant findings are summarized in each section. Peripheral nerve RFA is rapidly changing. Many studies have been performed over the last 5 years showing the usefulness of RFA.
