Post Traumatic Neuroma in Continuity of the Median Nerve in a Child: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An 8-year-old girl suffered a wrist laceration from a sharp glass, severing the median nerve. The nerve was end-to-end repaired at the time by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Six months later, the girl suffered wrist pain and hyperesthesia over the previous surgical incision, significantly affecting her daily activities. Physical examination revealed a palpable mass over the median nerve with a positive Tinel sign, and the diagnosis of a painful neuroma in continuity was set. She underwent another surgery where the defective neuroma in-continuity was excised, and the median nerve was reconstructed using sural nerve cable autografts. At 18 months follow-up after the second surgery, the girl appeared with a full passive and active painless range of motion and a negative Tinel sign. This is the first case of neuroma in continuity presenting in a child in the literature, successfully managed surgically.
