Non-oral pharmacological interventions in the management of herpes zoster-related pain: a review of current research.
Review in Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Herpes zoster-associated pain is a difficult-to-treat pathologic pain that seriously affects patients' quality of life. In recent years, emerging therapeutic techniques such as autologous platelet-rich plasma, sympathetic nerve block and pulsed radiofrequency have been gradually applied in the field of pain with the advantages of less trauma, quicker recovery and significant efficacy. These therapeutic options have become a new hope for the treatment of herpes zoster-associated pain. This article reviews the studies on herpes zoster-associated pain in non-oral drug therapy, summarizes the efficacy, safety, and possible mechanisms, and provides a reference basis for clinical treatment.
