1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Significant pelvic pain is a fairly common malady in the United States. At the same time, the opioid epidemic has changed how pain is thought about and treated, resulting in a clear call for alternative treatment strategies. One of the promising techniques that has emerged over the last several years is cryoneurolysis. Cryoneurolysis allows for personalization of treatment through targeting of specific peripheral nerves, which correspond to a patient's pain. In the setting of pelvic pain, several viable targets, namely the pudendal nerve and impar ganglion, have been described. This review delineates the mechanism of action in cryoneurolysis, reviews the pertinent literature and describes patient workup and technique. Finally, future directions are discussed.
