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 48-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis-related chronic abdominal pain (CAP) and concurrent chronic low back pain (LBP) with radiculopathy had inadequate relief from injectable and opioid therapies. A spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial with dual leads spanning T4-T6 produced significant CAP relief, leading to permanent implantation at T5, after which he reported improvement in both CAP and LBP. Several months later, analgesia abruptly failed due to caudal lead migration to T7 with high impedance at multiple contacts and unsuccessful reprogramming, prompting referral for surgical revision with paddle leads. This case supports SCS for combined CAP/LBP in selected refractory patients while underscoring device-related complications, such as lead migration, as key limitations requiring close clinical follow-up.
