Exploring the Changes in Pain Quality, Mechanical Allodynia, and Tactile Sensibility in Women With Persistent Postpartum Perineal Pain Treated With Somatosensory Rehabilitation: A Retrospective Case Series.
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
Background Persistent postpartum perineal pain (PPPP) is a prevalent condition characterized by provoked, unprovoked, or mixed pain. Somatosensory rehabilitation has shown significant effects in alleviating provoked pain, and, more specifically, mechanical allodynia, in other populations. Therefore, this method could be a promising approach for the treatment of PPPP. This study aims to describe changes in pain quality, mechanical allodynia, and tactile sensibility in women with PPPP treated with somatosensory rehabilitation. Methodology This retrospective case series describes the use of a somatosensory rehabilitation method applied to the treatment of PPPP. This intervention mainly involved tactile stimulation to treat pain, mechanical allodynia, and tactile sensibility. The study included individual outcomes of nine eligible patients treated with this method. Outcome measures included pain quality (
