Intervention Effect of Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Block on the Treatment for Low Back Pain with Radicular Pain.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lumbar transforaminal epidural block (LTEB) is a minimally invasive interventional method, and the interventional effect of LTEB on the treatment of low back pain with radicular pain is not yet clear; therefore, a total of 100 patients with low back pain with radicular pain treated in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were included in this study, and they were divided into two groups of 50 each using a digital double-blind method. The control group was treated conservatively, and the study group was treated with LTEB. Patients' pain was assessed using the numerical rating scale (NRS), and the degree of functional impairment was assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI). The results of the study showed comparable differences in NRS scores for low back pain, NRS scores for lower extremities, and ODI scores of patients before treatment (
