Ski- and snowboard related open peroneal nerve injury: A 20-year retrospective case series study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionTraumatic peroneal nerve injury (PNI) caused by ski or snowboard edges is a severe but scarcely reported accident.
methodsIn a 20-year retrospective study, all skiers and snowboarders with this injury treated surgically at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria, were included, covering a period from 1999/2000 to 2018/2019.
resultsIn total, 34 patients were included in this study (30 males (88.2%) and 4 (11.8%) females). Of these 34 injured skiers or snowboarders, 33 (97.1%) were recreational athletes and Non-Austrian citizens, and 21 (61.8%) patients sustained accidental injuries without collision. All of the injuries under investigation, i.e., open lacerations, most often with complete transection, were the patients' main injuries. Surgery was performed with direct coaptation in 24 patients (70.6%), and with a suralis nerve graft in the other 10 patients (29.4%).
conclusionTraumatic laceration of the peroneal nerve at the knee level by sharp ski or snowboard edges is a rare but severe injury. Causes for this injury may be multifactorial. Recommendations to reduce the risk of such an injury may follow general instructions and warnings to skiers and snowboarders regarding equipment, familiarity with the region, as well as appropriate skills and training.
