Coccydynia Improved by Percutaneous Discectomy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Usually, coccydynia cases are caused by herniated discs, with lower back pain and sciatica as initial symptoms. However, whether lumbar disc herniation causes coccydynia without back pain remains unclear. We report a case of lumbar disc herniation diagnosed as the underlying cause of coccydynia by discoblock. A woman in her mid-20s was treated for coccydynia experienced during sitting, for several years. There was no coccyx tenderness upon palpation. As the location of the pain could not be identified, it was not possible to perform a block at the site of the pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a herniated L5/S1 lumbar disc, without lower back pain and sciatica. Following discoblock, coccydynia was diagnosed as associated pain due to the herniated L5/S1 lumbar disc that was treated with percutaneous discectomy. After surgery, coccydynia was relieved while sitting; no medication was required.Discoblock was used to diagnose lumbar disc herniation as the cause of coccydynia. Percutaneous discectomy was effective for coccydynia without back pain, thus lumbar disc herniation should be considered as a differential diagnosis. Discoblock can be useful for differentiation.
