Clinical practice guidelines for the management of refractory postherpetic neuralgia by the Korean Pain Society.
Review in The Korean journal of pain, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is persistent pain that occurs after the resolution of skin lesions caused by the reactivation of the herpes zoster virus. Several first-line agents, including anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, and lidocaine patches, are used in treatment. However, systematic, evidence-based, multidisciplinary clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) addressing the use of opioids and pain interventions-such as nerve blocks-for patients with refractory PHN unresponsive to first-line agents have not yet been established. Therefore, the Korean Pain Society, in collaboration with relevant medical specialty societies, has developed
