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

introductionEntrapment neuropathies, typically carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy, frequently occur in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Upper limb impairments due to entrapment neuropathy can be particularly debilitating in this population. Anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) neuropathy has not been previously described in the SCI population. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old left-handed man with a history of C7 ASIA Impairment Scale B spinal cord injury five years prior presented to clinic with decreased left thumb function as well as thumb flexion. Workup including nerve conduction studies, electromyogram, ultrasonographic assessment, and magnetic resonance neurography was consistent with compressive AIN neuropathy. Surgical exploration and neurolysis was performed, with improvement of symptoms. DISCUSSION: Entrapment neuropathies should be carefully considered in the evaluation of patients with SCI with new motor deficits. We report a case of AIN neuropathy in a patient with SCI successfully treated with surgical decompression, and review the literature describing upper extremity entrapment neuropathies in this population. Surgical decompression is an effective option for treatment of AIN neuropathy in the setting of SCI, though further characterization of the optimal management strategy is needed.
