[Diagnostics and surgical treatment of painful neuromas].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 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
backgroundPainful neuromas that often develop after peripheral nerve injury require adequate diagnosis and treatment because of the suffering they cause. The scientific basis for the development of painful neuromas has not yet been sufficiently investigated. In addition to conservative procedures, a larger number of surgical techniques are available for treatment of painful neuromas.
objectiveA review of the basic principles, diagnostic and treatment options for painful neuromas. MATERIAL AND
methodsPresentation of the scientific basis regarding the development of painful neuromas. Illustration and discussion of the most common diagnostic and treatment procedures.
resultsThe scientific basis regarding the development of painful neuromas after peripheral nerve injury has not yet been adequately developed. In order to be able to make a correct diagnosis, the use of standardized diagnostic criteria and adequate imaging techniques are recommended. In the sense of a paradigm shift, the use of the formerly neuroma-bearing nerve for reinnervation of target organs is to be preferred over mere burying in adjacent tissue.
conclusionIn addition to standardized diagnostics the management of painful neuromas often requires a surgical intervention after all conservative therapeutic measures have been exhausted. As an alternative to restoring the continuity of the injured nerve, targeted reinnervation of electively denervated target organs by the formerly neuroma-bearing nerve is preferable over other techniques.
