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

High-resolution sonography has a growing role in both the diagnosis and management of traumatic and atraumatic peripheral nerve pathology. Sonography not only affords a cost-effective and time-efficient approach to interrogating long segments of peripheral nerves but also possesses unique advantages in terms of its dynamic, real-time nature with few clinical contraindications and limitations. In this review, we will initially discuss imaging techniques and characteristics of normal neural sonohistology, then address specific features and pitfalls pertaining to the spectrum of post-traumatic peripheral nerve injury. Additionally, we will highlight the more common sonographic applications in the clinical work-up of patients presenting with symptoms of dynamic neural impingement and entrapment. Finally, illustrative and clinical features of the more frequently encountered peripheral neural neoplastic pathologies will be addressed.
