Pulsed radiofrequency of iPACK (interspace between the popliteal artery and the posterior knee capsule) for pain control following meniscus repair - A case report.

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
Adequate postoperative pain control is an essential factor for the success of rehabilitation programs after meniscus repair (MR). The pulsed radiofrequency of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the posterior knee capsule (PRF-iPACK) is a recently developed method. This study aimed to evaluate the use of PRF-iPACK in patients who underwent MR. We performed PRF-iPACK guided by ultrasonography for patients who underwent MR with aggravated pain. PRF-iPACK was performed following MR four weeks after surgery. The pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Lysholm score, and the Euroqol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D). In this study, two patients participated. For the results, a week and three months after treatment, the mean VAS score, Lysholm score, and EQ5D improved from 7 to 1 and 0 respectively, and 42 to 86 and 90 respectively, and 0.48 to 0.82 and 0.92 respectively. We concluded that PRF-iPACK is an adequate and safe procedure for managing postoperative pain after MR. It may enhance the postoperative rehabilitation program.
