Cross-Sectional Area Reference Values of Nerves in the Upper and Lower Extremities using Ultrasonography in the Indian Population.

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
Background and Purpose: Cross-sectional area (CSA) is the most important parameter to study peripheral nerves by high-resolution ultrasonography. The aim was to acquire normative data of CSA of the main upper and lower limb nerves in the Indian population. Methods: CSA of nerves was determined in 100 healthy volunteers at 11 predetermined sites: median and ulnar at the wrist, mid-forearm, elbow; radial (spiral groove); tibial (popliteal fossa, medial malleolus); common peroneal (CPN, fibular head) and sural (lateral malleolus). Results: The mean age of participants was 40.7 ± 13.0 years (range: 18-79). Fifty were < 40 years of age. The mean height, weight and BMI were 161.5 ± 8.3 centimeters (range: 145-179), 58.6 ± 10.1 kilograms (range: 32-90) and 22.4 ± 3.2 kilogram/square meter (range: 14.03-30.44), respectively. The median and ulnar nerve measurements were non-uniform throughout its course, and the CSA was largest at the elbow and ulnar groove, respectively. With advancing age, there was a significant difference for median and ulnar nerves at the wrist (median Conclusion: It is apt for every defined population to have its own set of normative data of CSA as it varies with ethnicity, age, and the built of individuals. We provide a valuable set of CSA data for nerves in the Indian population, which can be used for comparison while investigating peripheral nerve disorders.
