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

A 15-year-old female developed refractory Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Type I of the left hand following metacarpal fixation. Conservative therapy and hand rehabilitation failed, resulting in persistent allodynia and functional loss. She was admitted for multimodal analgesia combining subanesthetic ketamine infusion, gabapentin, and a tunneled supraclavicular continuous nerve catheter delivering ropivacaine. Pain decreased from 7/10 at rest to 0/10 within 48 h. Allodynia has resolved, and motor function has fully recovered. The catheter was removed nine days later without complication, and pain remission persisted. This case demonstrates a safe and effective multimodal strategy for adolescent CRPS integrating central and peripheral desensitization mechanisms.
