A Narrative Review of Ultrasound-Guided and Landmark-based Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis for the Management of Acute and Chronic Pain.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06646731 (Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis for Management of Chronic Painful Diabetic Neuropathy), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
purpose of reviewCryoneurolysis refers to the process of reversibly ablating peripheral nerves with extremely cold temperatures to provide analgesia for weeks to months. With ultrasound-guidance or landmark-based techniques, it is an effective modality for managing both acute and chronic pain. In this review, we summarize the reported literature behind its potential applications and efficacy. RECENT
findingsHere, we summarize several studies (from case reports to clinical trials) describing the use of ultrasound-guided and landmark-based cryoneurolysis for acute and chronic pain. Acute pain indications included pain related to knee arthroplasty, limb amputations, mastectomies, shoulder surgery, rib fractures, and burn. Chronic pain indications included chronic knee pain (due to osteoarthritis), shoulder pain, painful neuropathies, postmastectomy pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, facial pain/headaches, foot/ankle pain, inguinal pain, and sacroiliac joint pain. For both acute and chronic pain indications, more high quality randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to definitively assess the efficacy of cryoneurolysis versus other standard therapies for a multitude of pain conditions.
