[Electrotherapeutical stellate ganglion block on a patient with complex regional pain syndrome of the upper limb].

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
The case of a 51-year-old patient with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the left hand after radius distortion is reported. Anticonvulsant therapy was difficult in this case due to persisting epilepsy with already dual therapy (lamotrigine and brivaracetam) at high dosage. With existing neuropathic pain, pronounced allodynia and hyperhidrosis, repetitive transcutaneous monophasic electrotherapy was applied above the stellate ganglion. A ganglion blockage could not be clinically confirmed in the absence of Horner syndrome, but neuropathic pain and hyperhidrosis could be positively influenced. This case report summarizes the electrode positions used, current parameters, pitfalls and therapy limitations and discusses them in relation to the literature.
