Effective Pain Management in Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN) Utilizing Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks: A Case Report.
Article in Anesthesiology and pain medicine, 2025. 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
Introduction: We presented a 39-year-old man with polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) experienced significant leg pain unresponsive to oral medications. Case Presentation: Two sequential lumbar sympathetic blocks with ropivacaine and triamcinolone resulted in over 70% pain reduction (NRS 9-10 to NRS 3) over a three-month follow-up period. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the efficacy of lumbar sympathetic block in controlling PAN-associated pain.
