Nationwide population based epidemiological characteristics of complex regional pain syndrome in South Korea.
Article in Scientific 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
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic and disabling pain disorder with limited nationwide epidemiological data. We conducted a population-based, repeated cross-sectional study using Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data from 2013 to 2022. CRPS cases were identified using Korean Classification of Diseases codes. Annual incidence and prevalence per 100,000 population were calculated and stratified by subtype, sex, and age. Crude rates showed a consistent decline in CRPS type I incidence and prevalence during the study period. Temporal trends were evaluated using negative binomial regression. Model 1 estimated overall temporal trends while adjusting for age and sex. CRPS type I demonstrated significant annual declines in incidence (20.5 to 6.5; IRR = 0.91, p < 0.001) and prevalence (30.6 to 16.8; PR = 0.93, p < 0.001), whereas type II showed no significant changes. Model 2 incorporated interaction terms between calendar year and demographic variables to assess subgroup differences. Although the overall decreasing trend for type I remained significant, age–year interactions were identified, with individuals aged ≥ 80 years demonstrating stable or modestly increasing patterns. These findings reveal subtype-specific temporal patterns and demographic heterogeneity in nationwide CRPS trends, offering updated epidemiological data to support future CRPS healthcare planning.
