Birds of a Feather Redux: Defining Ways to Stimulate the Peripheral Nervous System.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has become an essential component in the pain management plan for individuals suffering from peripheral nerve-mediated pain. The recent surge in interest in PNS can be attributed to the advancements in imaging techniques and the availability of minimally invasive stimulation systems along with a deeper grasp of PNS physiology. These advancements have made PNS more accessible to clinicians and patients alike. However, it is important to note that PNS requires a different set of technical requirements and skills compared to other pain management procedures. The work, knowledge, and surgical and interventional skillset required for PNS are in a class of their own. This article aims to educate and clarify the differences between procedures that may have similar names but are vastly different in terms of technology, expertise, and skill sets necessary for their safe implementation. Some of the procedures that this article will cover include indirect peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNfS), indirect percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS), PENS-Field Stimulation (PENFS), and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). By understanding the differences between these procedures, patients and health-care providers can make informed decisions about the best approach for managing pain.
