Diagnosis of Compressed Nerve Root in Lumbar Disc Herniation Patients by Surface Electromyography.
Trial report in Orthopaedic surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo establish a logistic regression model using surface electromyography (SEMG) parameters for diagnosing the compressed nerve root at L
methodsThis study recruited 24 patients with L
resultsThe accuracy of the SEMG model ranged from 85.71% to 100%, with an average of 93.57%. The sensitivity, specificity, AUC, and kappa value of the logistic regression model were 0.98 ± 0.05, 0.92 ± 0.09, 0.95 ± 0.04 (P = 0.006), and 0.87 ± 0.11, respectively (P = 0.001). The final diagnostic model was: P=1-11+ey; y = 10.76 - (5.95 × TA_RMS Ratio) - (0.38 × TA_RMS Peak Time Ratio) - (5.44 × 44 × LG_RMS Peak Time Ratio). L
conclusionsThe logistic regression model developed in this study showed high diagnostic accuracy in detecting the compressed nerve root (L
