Endoscopic lumbar sympathectomy as a treatment option for primary erythromelalgia - case report and review.
Article in Jornal vascular brasileiro, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Erythromelalgia is a rare disease, involving pain, edema, redness, and hyperthermia in the limbs. It is extremely refractory to drugs, has no defined treatment, and causes psychological comorbidities in the patient. We describe a case of erythromelalgia involving a 17-year-old boy who had been suffering from the disease for almost 4 years prior to finding an effective treatment. A bilateral endoscopic lumbar sympathectomy was performed, limited to L2 and L3 resections. Four weeks after the procedure, the patient's symptoms were significantly mitigated and at 8 months follow-up he remained almost asymptomatic. Endoscopic lumbar sympathectomy was an effective treatment for primary erythromelalgia in this teenager, with exceptional reduction of his symptoms.
