Longitudinal Median Nerve Ultrasound Changes in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury and an Age- and Sex-Matched Nondisabled Cohort.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: To assess the natural history for development of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in persons with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) at 1 year postdischarge from initial rehabilitation and to assess baseline median nerve (MN) cross-sectional area (CSA) above/below 10 mm Design: A prospective cohort study of persons with acute SCI evaluated for CTS using quantitative US and compared to a group without SCI (non-SCI). Setting: Academic medical center. Participants: N=69 total (N=34 SCI, N=35 non-SCI). The average age in both groups was 28 and the SCI group included 30 males and 2 females and the non-SCI group included 30 males and 3 females. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was the change in quantitative US parameters of the MN, including CSA and grayscale, from baseline to 1-year follow-up in those with SCI and those without SCI. CTS symptomatology and physical exam sum score and US measures for dominant and nondominant arms were considered secondary outcomes. Results: The SCI had darker nerves at baseline ( Conclusions: We observed few differences between the SCI group and the non-SCI control group and between those with smaller vs larger MN. In general, MN pathology changes (CTS symptoms and US variables) over 1 year were more common in the nondominant arm and appear to be a function of MN pathology at enrollment. Individuals with SCI may experience increased CTS symptoms as soon as 1 year after injury.
