Rapid neurophysiological screening for sensory ganglionopathy: A novel approach.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and Aim: Pure sensory neuropathies involving the dorsal root ganglia are commonly referred to as sensory ganglionopathies (SG). Causes of SG can be inherited (as seen in Friedreich's ataxia) or acquired (e.g. immune-mediated or paraneoplastic). Diagnostic criteria for confirming SG have been published and consist of a combination of clinical and neurophysiological parameters. The aim of our study was to develop a neurophysiological method for rapid screening for diagnosis of SG. Methods: For each subject we obtained the sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) of five nerves (median, ulnar, radial, sural and superficial peroneal) bilaterally. In the presence of an entrapment neuropathy we obtained the SNAP of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerves bilaterally. We estimated the number of pairs of nerves showing a SNAP asymmetry of >50% (difference of SNAPs/ lower SNAP). Results: Sixty-eight subjects, 34 patients with SG and 34 age and sex-matched controls, participated in the study. Among all subjects using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the area under the curve was 0.984 (95% CI, 0.960-1.000; SE, 0.012; Conclusion: The number of pairs of nerves showing a SNAP asymmetry of >50% may be used as a novel rapid screening tool of patients with SG.
