Combined Ultrasound-guided Perineural Vitamin B12 Injection and Pulsed Radiofrequency of C2 Dorsal Root Ganglion for Treatment of C2 Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. 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
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is commonly associated with moderate-to-severe pain, hyperalgesia, and allodynia. The efficacy of standard treatments is often insufficient, leading to a substantial reduction in patients' quality of life. This article proposes an innovative therapeutic strategy for C2 PHN. A 71-year-old woman with a 15-year history of refractory PHN localized to the C2 dermatome, unresponsive to various pharmacological and interventional treatments, exhibited significant symptom improvement following two sessions of combined ultrasound-guided perineural Vitamin B12 injections with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy targeting the C2 dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The combination of ultrasound-guided perineural Vitamin B12 injections and PRF of the C2 DRG demonstrates a synergistic effect and potential efficacy in treating C2 PHN. Further studies are necessary to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
