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

The injuries of the peripheral nerves are relatively frequent. Some of them may lead to defects which cannot be repaired with direct end-to-end repair without tension. These injuries may cause function loss to the patient, and they consist a challenge for the treating microsurgeon. Autologous nerve grafts remain the gold standard for bridging the peripheral nerve defects. Nevertheless, there are selected cases where alternative types of nerve reconstruction can be performed in order to cover the peripheral nerve defects. In all these types of reconstruction, the basic principles of microsurgery are necessary and the surgeon should be aware of them in order to achieve a successful reconstruction. The purpose of the present review was to present the most current data concerning the surgical options available for bridging such defects.
