1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The diagnostic work-up of peripheral neuropathies is often challenging and is mainly based on a combination of clinical and electrophysiological examinations. One of the most important difficulties is the accurate determination of the lesion site (lesion localization), lesion extension, and spatial lesion dispersion, which all represent essential diagnostic information crucial for finding the correct diagnosis and hence an adequate therapeutic approach. A typical pitfall in the conventional diagnostic reasoning is the differentiation between a distal, complete cross-sectional nerve lesion and a more proximally located, fascicular nerve lesion. Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) has been proven to be capable of improving the diagnostic accuracy by providing direct, noninvasive visualization of nerve injury with high structural resolution even reaching the anatomical level of single nerve fascicles (fascicular imaging) and at the same time with large anatomical coverage. It is also feasible to detect structural nerve damage earlier and with higher sensitivity than gold-standard nerve conduction studies. The purpose of this study is to review the literature for current developments and advances in MRN for the precise spatial detection of nerve lesions in focal and non-focal disorders of the peripheral nervous system.
