Pulsed Radiofrequency as a Promising Strategy for Persistent Morton's Neuroma Pain.
Article in Cureus, 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
Morton's neuroma is a prevalent cause of forefoot pain, often proving refractory to conventional conservative treatments. This case report describes a 25-year-old female nurse presenting with debilitating Morton's neuroma located in the second intermetatarsal space, who had not responded to prior conservative therapies. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment. Following the procedure, she experienced significant pain reduction, with her visual analog scale (VAS) score improving from 9/10 to 1/10. This case underscores the clinical efficacy of PRF as a safe, minimally invasive, and effective therapeutic option for patients suffering from refractory Morton's neuroma, suggesting its valuable role within the comprehensive management algorithm for this condition.
