Adverse Reactions to Phenol Neurolysis: Report of Severe Necrosis and Infection Following Genicular Nerve Ablation.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This report details a severe complication of phenol neurolysis in a diabetic patient, where phenol induced tissue necrosis can lead to severe cellulitis with ulceration that may prove difficult to treat. It emphasizes the importance of considering comorbidities when selecting phenol neurolysis for treatment of chronic pain.
