Management of Unreconstructable Saphenous Nerve Injury with Targeted Muscle Reinnervation.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Neuroma pain significantly impacts patient quality of life and is associated with unemployment, chronic opioid dependence, and depression. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), a surgical technique that coapts proximal stumps of cut nerves to distal motor nerves of adjacent muscles, has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment and prevention of neuroma pain. The objective of this study was to describe the surgical technique for TMR of the saphenous nerve, while providing a retrospective review. Between January 2015 and December 2018, 18 patients underwent TMR of the saphenous nerve: 1 nonamputee patient with chronic pain after ankle surgery and 17 amputee patients (10 for relief of chronic postamputation neuroma pain and phantom pain and 7 at the time of amputation for
