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

purposeThe flexor carpi radialis brevis (FCRB) is a supernumerary musculotendinous structure of the wrist that has been the focus of some interest in the last decade. While its anatomy is well known, its in vivo function remains unknown as it has never been studied.

methodsEleven cases of FCRB underwent a multimodal ultrasound consisting of B-mode, color Doppler and shear wave elastography.

resultsA pennate shape was observed in all cases and the mean value of the cross-sectional area was 0.8 cm

conclusionOur study demonstrates that the FCRB shows biomechanics of a typical skeletal muscle and is voluntarily controlled by flexing the wrist. Absent in other vertebrate taxa, the FCRB probably plays a role in active stability of the wrist in Human.
