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
Purpose: Currently, minimally invasive intervention surgery for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy mostly involves the use of cervical dorsal root ganglion (DRG) block or radiofrequency modulation therapy. Here, we proposed a novel transverse ultrasound-guided approach for puncturing the cervical dorsal root ganglion at the level of joint column for radiofrequency treatment. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 30 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy admitted to the Pain Department of Taihe Hospital Affiliated with Hubei Medical University from January 2021 to March 2024 was performed. During surgery, motor electrical stimulation was used to induce movement in the nerve-innervated area, and the relationship between the puncture needle tip and the cervical DRG position was verified using a C-arm X-ray machine. The numerical rating scale (NRS) was used for preoperative and postoperative pain assessment, clinical treatment effectiveness was evaluated, surgical duration and the associated complications were also recorded. Results: Thirty patients exhibited clear cervical DRG images under ultrasound guidance, and the punctures were successful in all patients. Motor electrical stimulation induced movement in the corresponding nerve innervation area in the range of 0.3-0.8 mv in all patients. No serious complications occurred during the procedure. Conclusion: The transverse ultrasound-guided approach for puncturing the cervical dorsal root ganglion at the level of joint column for radiofrequency treatment is effective, convenient, and safe.
