[Selective nerve transfers for thenar branch reconstruction].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
operativeReconstruction of thump opposition with selective nerve transfer of the motor branch of the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADM) to the thenar motor branch. INDICATIONS: Injury of the median nerve or thenar motor branch and resulting loss of thumb opposition. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Combined median and ulnar nerve injuries or brachial plexus lesions of C8-Th1, or a time interval >12 months since denervation of the thenar branch. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: The ADM motor branch is microsurgically dissected and transferred to the thenar branch. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: After successful reinnervation, regular follow-ups and intensive physiotherapy are important for operative outcome.
resultsReconstruction of the opposition of the thumb results in improved range of motion as well as a gain of grip and pinch force.
