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

Chronic pelvic pain conditions such as pudendal neuralgia pose significant treatment difficulty due to their elusive etiology and diverse symptomatology. Initially approved as a third or fourth-line treatment of non-obstructive urinary retention and fecal incontinence, neuromodulation has also proven effective for pelvic pain associated with urinary dysfunction. Recently, sacral and pudendal neuromodulation has demonstrated efficacy in managing a spectrum of chronic pelvic conditions including refractory pudendal neuralgia. The individualized approach of peripheral neuromodulation has opened new avenues for tailored medical interventions, extending its application to conditions such as pudendal neuralgia, post sling pain, and vulvodynia. New technologies leading to miniaturized neuromodulation devices such as Freedom
