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

backgroundPeripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been a part of neuromodulation for decades. New systems and advancements have the potential to bring renewed focus to this subfield and alter the risk profile for patients.

objectiveTo illustrate the mechanism of action, present stimulation options and areas of application and explore future perspectives. MATERIAL AND

methodsDescription and discussion of current options and systems for PNS based on the literature.

resultsThe PNS is a targeted and straightforward method for treating certain pain syndromes. New stimulation parameters and modalities as well as the use of newly developed wireless systems or specially designed devices with very small pulse generators offer new possibilities in this area.

conclusionDirect stimulation of the affected nerve can provide an individually tailored solution for patients. New systems and stimulation modalities constitute a milestone in this subfield of neuromodulation. Overcoming the limitations of older technologies leads to improved patient safety and comfort. As such, PNS can become an important cornerstone in the treatment of chronic pain.
