Rectus sheath pulsed radiofrequency treatment for anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome is pain caused by compression of the anterior cutaneous branch of the intercostal nerve as it passes from the posterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle through the rectus abdominis muscle. In this report, we describe a case of pulsed radiofrequency treatment to the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle for anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient was a 27-year-old man. He was diagnosed with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome because of a single localized tender point on the right abdominal wall and positive Carnett's sign, and repeated trigger point injections to the lateral rectus abdominis muscle three times, but only temporary pain reduction was obtained. After confirming the effect of rectus sheath block, pulsed radiofrequency treatment was performed in the same area. After two rounds of pulsed radiofrequency treatment, the pain disappeared. Pulsed radiofrequency treatment is suggested to be effective for long-term treatment of anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome with a minimally invasive technique.
