Spontaneous ischemic neuropathy of the sciatic nerve due to arterial occlusion - a rare cause of acute neuropathy not to be missed, a report of two cases.
Article in BMC neurology, 2022. 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
backgroundIschemic neuropathy of the sciatic nerve without preceding vascular surgical procedures is a rare condition and may be due to arterial occlusion in one limb. CASE PRESENTATIONS: We present two cases with acute onset of pain and sensory symptoms such as pins and needles and numbness in the foot with no or mild motor symptoms. In the neurological work-up, electrophysiological signs of axonal neuropathy of both peroneal and tibial nerves were demonstrated and T2 hyperintensity was seen in the distal sciatic nerves on MR neurography as well as signs indicating arterial thrombosis in the corresponding vessels. Recanalization was obtained in both patients angiographically with significant improvement in one patient.
conclusionsSpontaneous arterial occlusion of major or peripheral arteries is a rare but important cause of acute onset of single or multiple axonal mononeuropathies of one extremity. Recognition of this infrequent cause is essential since it requires immediate and specific therapeutic options.
