Successful Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor-related Pain with Perineural Steroid Injection: a case report.
Article in Interventional pain medicine, 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
Pain associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is poorly understood. To date, no treatment options have been approved for NF1-related pain. We present the case of a young female NF1 patient with intermittent buttock pain radiating down the leg who presented with positive dural tension signs. The patient was diagnosed with neurofibroma sciatic nerve compression, which was successfully managed with ultrasound-guided perineural steroid injection. There is sparse literature regarding the efficacy of ultrasound-guided perineural steroid injection in NF1 patients for treatment of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor compressions. This case describes the utility of perineural steroid injections for symptomatic relief of NF1 neurofibroma-related pain. Perineural steroid injections should be considered when neurofibroma-related pain fails to respond to other conservative treatment. Steroid injections provide an alternative to oral medicinal management and avoid the often morbid risks of surgical intervention.
