Three Subtypes of Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome: A Narrative Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. 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
Anterior, lateral, and posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndromes have been proposed as etiologies of trunk pain. However, while these syndromes are analogous, comprehensive reports contrasting the three subtypes are lacking. We therefore reviewed the literature on anterior, lateral, and posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. We searched the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases twice for relevant articles published between March and September 2022. In addition to 16 letters, technical reports, and review articles, a further 62, 6, and 3 articles concerning anterior, lateral, and posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndromes, respectively, were included. These syndromes are usually diagnosed based solely on unique history and examination findings; however, the diagnostic process may be prolonged, and multiple re-evaluations are required. The most common first-line treatment is trigger point injection; however, the management of refractory cases remains unclear. Awareness of this disease should be expanded to medical departments other than general medicine.
