Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pelvic Pain Secondary to Oncologic Complications: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report presents the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in a patient with chronic, treatment-resistant pelvic pain secondary to oncologic complications and associated therapies. A 62-year-old male with a complex history of colorectal and prostate cancer, with metastatic involvement of the bladder and breasts, presented with severe, diffuse, generalized pelvic pain rated 10/10 in severity. The patient's pelvic pain was likely multifactorial in etiology, consisting of mixed neuropathic and nociceptive pain from extensive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. He tried multiple conservative treatments, including opioids, IV ketamine infusions, and ganglion impar blocks, which provided only transient analgesia. The patient then underwent SCS implantation. After the procedure, he reported moderate improvement in his previously severe pre-procedural pain and continues to report sustained analgesia at his monthly follow-up visits.
