Compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity: update on pathophysiology, classification, and electrodiagnostic findings.
Review in The Journal of hand surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers.
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
Clinical examination and electrodiagnostic studies remain the gold standard for diagnosis of nerve injuries. Diagnosis of chronic nerve compression (CNC) injuries can be difficult in patients with confounding factors such as diabetes. The treatment of nerve entrapment ranges from medical to surgical management, depending on the nerve involved and on the severity and duration of compression. Considerable insights have been made at the molecular level, differentiating between nerve crush injuries and CNC injuries. Although the myelin changes after CNC injury were previously thought to be a mild form of Wallerian degeneration, recent evidence points to a distinct pathophysiology involving Schwann cell mechanosensitivity. Future areas of research include Schwann cell transplantation in the treatment regimen, the correlation between demyelination and the onset of pain, and the role of Schwann cell integrins in transducing the mechanical forces involved in nerve compression injuries to Schwann cells.
