Use of Botulinum Toxin Injections in the Treatment of Cold Intolerance.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2024. 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
There is currently no consensus on the treatment of cold intolerance in extremities in post-trauma patients. We aim to present two cases where botulinum toxin type A injections were used to improve symptoms of cold intolerance. Botulinum toxin type A (Allergan) was injected into the area around the palmar digital neurovascular bundle on both sides of the affected finger. We performed this in two patients, and both had good improvement of symptoms. One patient was discharged, and the other remained under routine follow-up with potential yearly botulinum injections to aid symptoms during the winter months. Both patients are pleased with their outcomes and report significant improvement from the low-risk treatment. In both described cases, injections of botulinum toxin had a significant effect on their symptoms. We conclude that botulinum toxin type A may be used as a treatment modality to improve symptoms of cold intolerance after trauma.
