Magnitude of peripheral neuropathy in cirrhosis of liver patients from central rural India.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
contextCirrhosis of liver is an important cause of morbidity and mortality and if associated with peripheral neuropathy (PN) it also poses a huge financial, psychological burden for the patients and their families.
aimThe aim of the present study was to study the magnitude of PN among subjects with cirrhosis of liver presenting to tertiary care teaching hospital in central rural India. SETTINGS AND
designA cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary care teaching hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn all patients of cirrhosis of liver irrespective of etiology, aged 15 and above, undergone clinical assessment for peripheral nervous systems damage and confirmed by nerve conduction studies. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: We used chi square test to study associations. P value ≤0.05 was considered as significant. Crude odds ratios were computed to assess the strength of association between independent variables and dependent variables along with their 95% confidence intervals.
resultsWe included 207 of cirrhosis of liver patients admitted in medicine department from November 2010 through November 2013. Nearly 83% patients were male and 63.2% patients were under the age of 45 years. Common features in these patients were ascites (71%) splenomegaly (63.3%) pedal edema (61.4%) icterus (46.4%) tingling (44.9%) gastrointestinal bleeding(39.1%), ataxia (26.6%), numbness(26.6%), distal motor weakness (21.7%) and paresthesia(20.8%). Among the manifestation of peripheral nerve involvement, loss of ankle reflex was the most common feature in 51.7%, followed by loss of temperature sense 29.5%, loss of vibration sense 20.8%, loss of touch 16.4%, loss of position sense 14.5% and loss of pain in 6.3% of the patients. Peripheral neuropathy was found in 53.6% [95% CI: 46.58- 60.56] study subjects on electrophysiological study.
conclusionsAnalysis of electrophysiological study shows that the PN is very common in study subjects with cirrhosis of liver, especially in male subjects, during the middle age group.
