Post-Herpetic Neuralgia: Review of Pathophysiology, Mechanisms, and Drug Treatment.
Review in Current neuropharmacology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most common complication of Herpes zoster infection. Although numerous targeted therapeutic drugs have been developed, it is difficult to achieve a complete cure. Abnormalities in neural circuits, ion channels, inflammatory factors, and gene regulation are crucial factors contributing to the development of PNH; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms of PNH is critical for advancing research and developing novel therapeutic strategies. Based on the latest findings, we systematically reviewed the current understanding of PHN mechanisms and corresponding treatment options and provided a comprehensive reference for future studies.
