Presentation and Management Outcome of High Radial Nerve Palsy with Tendon Transfers.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 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
backgroundThis randomized clinical trial was carried out to document the clinical presentation of isolated high radial nerve palsy (high RNP) and compare the outcome of triple tendon transfers.
methodsThe study included patients of all genders and ages who presented with isolated high RNP. Half of them were randomly assigned to the flexor carpi radialis set (FCR-set) of tendon transfers (group A) and a half to the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU-set) of tendon transfers (group B).
resultsOut of 44 patients, 38 were males, and 6 were females. The age ranged from 7 years to 55 years. 26(59.09%) patients had primary RNP in association with fractures of the humerus. The postoperative mean disability of arm, shoulder, and hand score (Quick DASH-11 score) for the patients in the FCR-set of transfers was 34.54%% versus 41.81% for the FCU-set of transfers. 11 patients (25%) developed radial deviation deformity.
conclusionRNP was predominantly found among males of the young age group, and the majority of the cases resulted from preventable causes. The triple tendon transfers among patients of the two groups robustly restored the lost extension of the wrist and digits in a matching way. The patients also subjectively reported remarkable improvement in terms of the favorable Quick-DASH-11 scores. Radial deviation deformity occurred among half of the patients who underwent the FCU set of tendon transfers.
