Distal nerve transfer (PT-AIN, SUP-PIN) for regaining hand function in C8, T1 root injury following extirpation of the right C8, T1 schwannoma.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 48-year-old female was admitted to the authors' department due to hand weakness as a consequence of C8, T1 root injury. Eight months earlier, the patient had been treated by a pulmonary surgeon due to an expansive lesion near the apex of the right lung, which resulted in right lower brachial plexus palsy. Postoperative pathohistological findings indicated that the lesion was nerve schwannoma. The diagnostic process included physical examination, electromyoneurography, and MRI. A distal nerve transfer (pronator teres-anterior interosseus nerve [PT-AIN], supinator-posterior interosseus nerve [SUP-PIN]) was performed in order to restore hand function.
