1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Slipping rib syndrome (SRS) is an underdiagnosed condition, in which some ribs are not connected to the sternum, which may cause increased laxity of the interchondral ligament. This may result in pain in the lower chest and upper abdomen area. Treatment typically includes conservative measures, steroid injections, and surgery. Ultrasound-guided intercostal cryoneurolysis is a minimally-invasive procedure that may provide long-term analgesia in patients with SRS. This case report describes the procedure for a patient treated with right-sided ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis of the intercostal nerves at the levels T7, T8, and T9.
