Pediatric erythromelalgia from multidisciplinary perspectives: a scoping review.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Erythromelalgia is a rare, chronic pain disorder characterized by the triad of intense burning sensation, warmth, and redness, primarily involving the hands and feet, and usually alleviated by cold and worsened by heat. The objective of this scoping review was to: 1) map the existing literature on erythromelalgia in youth, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) inform directions for future research in pediatric erythromelalgia. One hundred and sixty-seven studies reporting 411 cases of childhood-onset erythromelalgia were identified. Variability was found in reporting of clinical symptoms, the clinical presentations and diagnostic criteria used for classification of erythromelagia, the clinical assessments and investigations performed, and the types of interventions and management plans utilised. While factors to aid early recognition and optimize management have been identified, there are also significant gaps for future research to address. Ongoing efforts to develop a multicenter registry of pediatric erythromelalgia cases, with standardized data collection and reporting, will be beneficial to establish consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and management of pediatric erythromelalgia. IMPACT: This scoping review maps the existing literature on pediatric erythromelalgia. Variability was found in reporting of clinical symptoms, the clinical presentations and diagnostic criteria used for classification of erythromelagia, the clinical assessments and investigations performed, and the types of interventions and management plans utilised. The development of an international registry would immensely benefit multidisciplinary experts involved in the care of pediatric erythromelalgia and those with lived experience.
