Spinal Cord Stimulation: Mechanisms of Action, Indications, Types, Complications.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Recent advances in neuromodulation are opening new pathways for treating chronic pain, with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) poised for substantial transformation in the coming years. Evolving technologies and a deeper understanding of pain mechanisms are driving a move away from traditional, standardized stimulation models toward more precise and personalized interventions. This shift reflects not only technical progress but also a growing emphasis on tailoring treatment to individual patient profiles. Advances in neuromodulation have introduced new stimulation patterns such as high-frequency, burst and dorsal root ganglion stimulation, which developed to address the limitations of conventional tonic SCS, especially declining long-term efficacy and the need for paresthesia. Early studies show promising results for these newer modalities, but findings are inconsistent and long-term data remain limited. In this article, we explore the current landscape of SCS innovation, highlight emerging clinical approaches and discuss the conceptual and technological trends that are likely to redefine the role of neuromodulation in chronic pain management.
