Therapeutic Efficacy of Adipose Tissue-Derived Components in Neuropathic Pain: A Systematic Review.
Review in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNeuropathic pain results from a defect in the somatosensory nervous system caused by a diversity of etiologies. The effect of current treat-ment with analgesics and surgery is limited. Studies report the therapeutic use of adipose tissue-derived components to treat neuropathic pain as a new treatment modality.
objectiveThe aim of this systematic review was to investigate the therapeutic clinical efficacy of adipose tissue-derived components on neuro-pathic pain.
methodsPubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Embase databases were searched until August 2023. Clinical studies assessing neuropathic pain after autologous fat grafting or the therapeutic use of adipose tissue-derived com-ponents were included. The outcomes of interest were neuropathic pain and quality of life.
resultsIn total, 433 studies were identified, of which 109 dupli-cates were removed, 324 abstracts were screened and 314 articles were excluded. In total, ten studies were included for comparison. Fat grafting and cellular stromal vascular fraction were used as treatments. Fat grafting indications were post-mastectomy pain syndrome, neuromas, post-herpetic neuropathy, neuro-pathic scar pain and trigeminal neuropathic pain. In seven studies, neuropathic pain levels decreased, and overall, quality of life did not improve.
conclusionsThe therapeutic efficacy of adipose tissue-derived components in the treatment of neuropathic pain remains unclear due to the few performed clinical trials with small sample sizes for various indications. Larger and properly designed (randomized) controlled trials are required.
