Rhabdomyolysis revisited: Detailed analysis of magnetic resonance imaging findings and their correlation with peripheral neuropathy.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The objective is to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in rhabdomyolysis in detail and determine their correlation with the development of peripheral neuropathy.Magnetic resonance images for 23 patients with confirmed rhabdomyolysis with (n = 11) or without (n = 12) peripheral neuropathy were retrospectively reviewed for the signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images, intramuscular hemorrhage, enhancement pattern, shape and margin in the longitudinal plane, edema in the deep fascia and overlying subcutaneous layer, multiplicity, and bilateral limb involvement. The collected data were statistically analyzed and the relationship between the imaging findings and the development of peripheral neuropathy was determined.Abnormal signal intensities on T1- or T2-weighted images were observed for all patients except one. Fourteen patients (60.9%) showed intramuscular hemorrhage. Stippled enhancement (11/23; 47.8%) was the most common enhancement pattern. Nineteen patients (86.4%) showed a well-defined rectangular shape with a ragged margin in the longitudinal plane. The affected muscle volume usually increased (17/23; 73.9%), with edema in the deep fascia and the overlying subcutaneous layer (13/23; 56.5%). Multiplicity within a muscle, compartment, and limb was observed in 7 (31.8%), 18 (81.8%), and 16 (72.7%) patients, respectively. Bilateral involvement was observed in 7 patients (30.4%). Only multiplicity within a compartment showed a statistically significant correlation with peripheral neuropathy development.Common MRI findings in rhabdomyolysis include intramuscular hemorrhage, stippled enhancement, a well-defined rectangular shape with a ragged margin in the longitudinal plane, and multiplicity. Multiplicity within a compartment may be a predictor of the development of peripheral neuropathy.
