Vitamin B12 injection plus traditional Chinese medicine techniques for meralgia paresthetica: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) comprehensive therapy has become the mainstream treatment method for lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in neuropathic diseases. This study aimed to explore the clinical effect of vitamin B12 injection combined with TCM technology in the treatment of lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis. Methods: From January 2022 to January 2024, 126 patients with lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis were selected from our hospital and then randomly divided into a study group and control group. The control group received the methods of pulling, paravertebral positive spot cutaneous needle tapping, and cupping. The study group received vitamin B12 injections on the basis of the methods of pulling, paravertebral positive spot cutaneous needle tapping, and cupping. Results: After therapy, the pain score and the numbness score in the study group were lower relative to the control group. The total effective rate in the study group was better relative to the control group. The recurrence rate and the incidence of adverse reactions in the study group were lower relative to the control group. Conclusion: Vitamin B12 injection combined with pulling, paravertebral positive spot cutaneous needle tapping, and cupping has an effective clinical effect in the treatment of lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis.
