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

The coexistence of ulnar nerve subluxation and snapping medial head triceps is an uncommon occurrence. There have been few studies and case reports since it was first described in 1970. In this article, we present a case in which the condition occurred after a push-up. We analysed the pathoanatomy of the condition, and reviewed the literature regarding potential causes, typical presentations of the coexistence of both ulnar nerve subluxation and medial snapping triceps and describe our surgical technique in treatment. Elbow pain is very often under evaluated as many physicians may not be aware that elbow pain could be attributed to the coexistence of both ulnar nerve subluxation and medial snapping triceps. A thorough evaluation with physical examination and imaging are recommended. Early surgery with an appropriate rehabilitation programme may hasten recovery and return to sports in patients who continue to remain symptomatic following a trial of conservative therapy.
