Complete Improvement of Severe Forearm Complex Regional Pain Syndrome with Six High-Dose Incobotulinumtoxin A Injections: Clinical Implications with Respect to the Literature.
Article in Toxins, 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
There is some evidence that injections of botulinum neurotoxin effectively reduce pain in complex regional pain syndromes (CRPSs). But no or little experience appears to exist for the application of incobotulinum neurotoxin type A (incoBoNT/A) in complex pain disorders. Here, a case of CRPS type I, characterized by severe symptoms in the left forearm is presented, showed significant continuous improvement following a series of six repetitive (painful) injections into the finger, hand, and forearm muscles of incoBoNT/A every 3 months, administered at declining doses varying between 500 and 100 U. Remarkably, this treatment regimen led to the complete resolution of pain, vaso- and sudomotor symptoms, and hand dystonia. This highlights the possible efficacy of incoBoNT/A in the treatment of CRPS and encourages the further exploration of incoBoNT/A's role in the successful management of complex pain disorders.
