Correlation between age and the sciatic nerve diameter in the first 2 years of life: A high-resolution ultrasound study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo investigate the maturation of the peripheral nervous system by analyzing the cross-sectional area of the sciatic nerve during the first 2 years of life.
methodsThe sciatic nerve was examined by high-resolution ultrasound imaging in 52 children aged 0 days to 10 years, 45 of whom were younger than 2 years. The correlation between the cross-sectional area of the nerve and the age was statistically tested. A logarithmic regression analysis was performed to develop a logarithmic growth model of the cross-sectional area.
resultsThere is a highly significant correlation between the age and the cross-sectional area of the sciatic nerve. The growth rate can well be described by a logarithmic model.
interpretationBased on the literature on the maturation of the median nerve and nerve roots and the findings of the present study, we conclude that both the proximal and the distal parts of the nerves of the peripheral nervous system increase simultaneously. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Normative values for the size of the sciatic nerve in children.
