Celiac Plexus Block to Treat Refractory Feed Induced Dystonia in Children with Severe Neurodisability: A Single Center Case Series.
Article in JPGN reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This observational study describes the procedure technique, safety outcomes, and patient responses to celiac plexus blockade (CPB) in children with severe neurodisability with refractory feed intolerance, feed induced pain or feed induced dystonia (FID). Method: A review of the pathophysiological response to feeding in children with significant neurodisability and the effect on the neuroenteric system. A 2-stage CT-guided temporary celiac plexus blockade followed by neurolysis technique is described. We compile a case series of 5 patients with life limiting conditions and significant disability undergoing CPB in a single tertiary pediatric hospital. Results: A total of 10 separate procedures in 5 children were completed. A positive outcome was observed in 3 out of 4 cases of pediatric FID. Two of the three patients on parenteral nutrition had improved feed tolerance postprocedure. All children tolerated the procedure well, no postprocedure complications were documented. Conclusions: In selected cases, children with life-threatening feed induced dystonia or effective intestinal failure can be safely treated with celiac plexus blockade when other therapies have failed.
