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

According to previously published papers, neurovascular injuries seem to be the most unfortunate complications after surgical procedures. In this report, we present our therapeutic approach to iatrogenic injury of the posterior tibial nerve that occurred during ankle arthroscopy in a 24-year-old patient. The outcome of the therapy was a full sensory return and partial motor return (S4 and M3 according to the Medical Research Council Grading System for Nerve Recovery). Our patient was able to resume her typical training. In comparison with available reports, our therapeutic approach enabled earlier functional recovery after nerve injury. While sensory return is beneficial, motor improvement is also important. However, we are conscious of the poor functional outcomes reported by other researchers.
