Peripheral Neuromodulation: Type 2 Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Secondary to an Excisional Biopsy.
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
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a multifactorial and often refractory condition that involves hyperalgesia and allodynia of the extremities. Current treatments are mostly limited and short-lived; thus, different modalities of interventional pain control have come up to play a significant role in the management of CRPS. The aim of this article is to present a single case from a Multidisciplinary Pain Management Center, regarding a wireless peripheral nerve stimulation (WPNS) treatment for a type II CRPS. The European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire was used as tool during an 18th month period follow-up. A 43-year-old healthy woman, diagnosed with ganglionar tuberculosis and a refractory type II CRPS in the right upper extremity, following an excisional biopsy. She underwent placement of a permanent electrode in the right ulnar nerve. During 18 months, a progressive reduction of pain medication and an improvement in her quality of life associated with a remarkable relief in pain, allodynia, and temperature impairment was achieved. Given its high acceptance, safety, and potential to influence neuronal plasticity, WPNS thus shows to be a promising and favorable tool in the multidisciplinary approach of CRPS.
