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

This review article presents the history, indications and techniques for the usual nerve transpositions in the upper extremities. By means of nerve transposition paralyzed muscles are reinnervated using dispensable donor motor axons. Many standard operations on the upper extremities are attributable to concepts of German-speaking surgeons and orthopedists. The reliable return of function by the short-range and selective motor reinnervation using nerve transfer results in a renaissance of these techniques. The spectrum of applications has been substantially extended in recent years. In order to achieve an optimal result, a subtle microsurgical technique is necessary. In this way excellent results can be achieved even for complex proximal nerve injuries.
