Functional reconstructions using only ulnar nerve and ulnar nerve-innervated muscles for traumatic musculocutaneous, median and radial nerve palsies.

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
A 20-year-old right-handed fisherman experienced a severe injury in a high-energy traffic accident. These injuries included a shaft fracture of the right humerus, open comminuted fracture of the right forearm and multiple peripheral nerve palsies involving the musculocutaneous, median and radial nerves. Six months after the initial treatment, the patient was referred to our hand surgeons for further treatment. Several operations for functional reconstruction using only the ulnar nerve and ulnar nerve-innervated muscles were performed: the main procedures included a partial ulnar nerve transfer for elbow flexion, flexor carpi ulnaris transfer for reconstruction of wrist and finger extension and opponensplasty using the abductor digiti minimi. Three years after the initial injury, the patient had relatively good function including elbow flexion and stable side pinch and grasp. Functional reconstruction using a combination of the ulnar nerve and ulnar nerve-innervated muscles may be useful in specific cases involving multiple peripheral nerve injuries.
