Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Hydrodissection for Sural Nerve Injury: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Sural nerve entrapment is a relatively uncommon cause of lateral ankle and foot pain and sensory disturbance. Conventional management generally lacks direct, targeted intervention at the site of nerve injury. We report a case of a 33-year-old male patient who developed sural neuropathy secondary to a right ankle sprain. Diagnosis was confirmed by electromyography (EMG) and high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasonography (US). The patient underwent two sessions of ultrasound-guided perineural hydrodissection, achieving over 80% pain relief posttreatment, with sustained stability during follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic synergy of EMG and US in peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes, enabling precise diagnosis and anatomical localization of the entrapment site. It also supports ultrasound-guided hydrodissection as a precise, safe, minimally invasive, and effective therapeutic intervention that may obviate the need for invasive surgery.
