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

A 65-year-old woman presenting with a sensory ganglionopathy complicated with COVID-19 is limited in her rehabilitation due to pain from lateral compartment knee osteoarthritis. To increase participation in rehabilitation, cryoneurolysis of the medial and lateral anterior femoral cutaneous nerve and infrapatellar branches of the saphenous nerve was provided to manage pain associated with knee osteoarthritis. The patient reported immediate relief from pain. Physiotherapy noted improvement immediately after the procedure. Follow-ups at 7- and 11-days post-treatment revealed ongoing increases in mobility and reduction in pain. The patient was discharged to live independently shortly after cryoneurolysis. Cryoneurolysis for knee osteoarthritis could be considered as a treatment option to increase participation in rehabilitation for hospital inpatients who are stalled in their rehabilitation due to pain and poor mobility from knee osteoarthritis.
