Review in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06788158 (Clinical Effects of the Intralesional Application of Incobotulinum Toxin vs Corticosteroid in Patients With Plantar Fascitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Although botulinum toxin (BT) is now being used in a large number of different indications in numerous medical specialties, there is still dynamic and rapid development. Treatment algorithms were improved by the introduction of BT short-interval therapy, BT high-dose therapy and improved dosing guidelines. Ultrasound guidance may be helpful in special situations. New indication areas including depression and inflammatory processes are being explored. Drug development projects are mainly focusing on onabotulinumtoxinA analogues, some are addressing liquid preparations and modifications of BT's duration of action. Recombinant BT may simplify production processes. Cell-based assays for potency measurement will soon be required by registration authorities. Treatment algorithms will be further refined and indications will be expanded. New indication areas are still uncertain. BT type A will remain the drug substance of choice. Removal of complexing proteins seems logical. Whether there is a need for BT drugs with modified duration of action and for liquid preparations, is unclear. Bringing BT therapy to those who need it, is the biggest challenge. Current high-price business models need to be changed, either by employing a biosimilar registration approach or by referring to companies from countries where business models are based on different cost structures.
