Ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma injection for traumatic painful neuroma of brachial plexus: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Traumatic neuroma (TN) is a repair response of nerves to direct/indirect trauma or chronic inflammatory injury, commonly occurring after trauma or surgery. The authors report a rare case of a traumatic painful neuroma of the brachial plexus. Physical therapy and drug treatment failed to resolve the symptoms of allodynia and a palpable mass, which significantly reduced the patient's quality. Ultrasound-guided injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has shown significant efficacy in repairing the nerve and relieving pain. However, there is a lack of research on treating TN with PRP injection. This case demonstrates that ultrasound-guided injection of PRP can alleviate neuropathic pain caused by a traumatic painful neuroma of brachial plexus and improve the upper limb function.
