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

Nerves are commonly injured in case of blunt or penetrating trauma to the extremities. Patients with nerve injuries have profound consequences and thus a timely decision for operative management is a very important. Conventionally, management decisions have been based on clinical findings, patient course and electrophysiological studies. However, imaging modalities have an enormous role not only in localizing and grading of the nerve injuries but also in the follow-up of the nerve recovery. High-resolution ultrasound (HUS) is the modality of choice for evaluation of peripheral nerves. Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) plays a complementary role, enabling better assessment of muscle changes and deeper nerves. Corresponding to the injured layer of the cross-section of the nerve, imaging manifestations differ in different grades of injury. Since imaging cannot detect ultrastructural changes at the microscopic level, thus there may be overlap in the imaging findings. Herewith, we discuss the imaging findings in different grades of nerve injury and propose a simple 3-tier grading for imaging (HUS and MRN) assessment of peripheral nerve injuries.
