1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To assess magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS) for the treatment of chronic or chronic and intractable neuropathic pain with a retrospective review case series. Patients and methods: Twenty-four patients with predominantly neuropathic post-traumatic or postoperative pain were treated as per protocol and followed for 3 months. Results: Data were analyzed as an observational, one-armed, convenience sample. Graphical evidence backed up by a mixed model for repeated measures statistical analysis showed a highly significant reduction of pain at one month out from initial treatment with mPNS. At one month, there was a 3.8 average reduction in pre-pain scores using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and that relief was generally durable measured out to three months. Two-thirds of patients, deemed responders, showed an 87% reduction in pain. Opioid reduction was seen in 58.3% of responders as well. Conclusion: mPNS appears promising for the treatment of chronic or chronic and intractable neuropathic pain for many of the same indications as traditional electrical peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). No invasive techniques or implants are needed for mPNS.
