Biochemical reactions and ultrasound insights in percutaneous needle electrolysis therapy.
Article in Interventional pain medicine, 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
Percutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) applies low-voltage direct current to human tissue, inducing localized electrolysis. This process triggers controlled inflammation and promotes tissue repair. Hydrogen gas, a byproduct of electrolysis, appears as hyperechoic spots on ultrasound imaging, whereas other products such as sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas are less visible. PNE has demonstrated effectiveness in cases resistant to conventional therapies, including chronic lateral epicondylitis. Written informed consent were obtained from the patient.
