Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Cluneal Neuropathy Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Chronic low back pain is a prevalent and sometimes debilitating condition. This case report describes a 69-year-old female presenting with axial spine pain. The pain was inadequately controlled by opioids as she was treated unsuccessfully with hydrocodone and remained to have the pain between 7/10 and 10/10. Peripheral neural stimulation (PNS) was trialed and then used to control her pain. PNS is a device-based treatment option that appears effective in a subset of patients. It has been effectively used to treat many different chronic pain syndromes. The patient responded well to the treatment, with her pain intensity going down to between 2/10 and 5/10 on the same scale. She was able to discontinue her use of opioids. PNS can be a safe and effective treatment in patients who have not responded well to pharmacologic analgesia.
