The Influence of Coccygeal Dynamic Patterns in Ganglion Impar Block for the Treatment of Chronic Refractory Coccydynia.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Patients with persistent coccygodynia who do not respond to conventional therapies may undergo ganglion impar block (GIB). We looked at how GIB therapy for individuals with persistent coccygodynia affected their coccygeal dynamic patterns. Materials and Methods: Patients with persistent coccydynia with GIB once using a trans-Sacro-coccygeal technique with fluoroscopy supervision were taken up for the study. Out of 14 patients, they were categorized as Group I- mobile coccyx (8 patients) and Group 2- immobile coccyx (6 patients) using static and dynamic coccyx radiographs, based on coccygeal mobility. A visual analog score (VAS) was used to measure pain levels both before and after the intervention (at 1 hour and 2, 4 weeks). A VAS score drop of 50% or more was considered to be a meaningful reduction in pain. Discussion: On every subsequent visit, the VAS scores were considerably lower in both groups, the pre- and post-intervention VAS scores significantly differed between the two groups. In follow-up, there was no significant difference in the scores between the two groups. Conclusion: Normal and immobile coccyges detected by standard and dynamic radiographs of patients with chronic coccydynia appear to be two different coccygeal dynamic patterns that do not affect the treatment outcome in Ganglion Impar Block.
