Importance of Anatomic Peculiarities and Ultrasound-Guided Electromyography of the Extensor Indicis Proprius Muscle.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The extensor indicis proprius muscle (EIPM) is considered a key muscle in the assessment of the level of the neurologic lesion causing any motor or sensory medio-cubital impairment of the hand. The aim of this study is to illustrate the anatomical peculiarities of the EIPM, the ultrasound (US) anatomy of the inferoposterior part of the forearm, and the technique of US-guided electromyography (EMG) of the EIPM. The US-guided EMG of the EIPM is technically easy and safe for young practitioners, provided there is a good knowledge of US anatomy of the inferoposterior part of the forearm.
