Sonographic evaluation of median nerve cross-sectional area in a normal Iranian population: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Introduction: Considering disagreements on the normal range of median nerve cross-sectional area (MNCSA) and insufficient data in the Iranian population, this study aimed to measure normal MNCSA. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, bilateral upper limbs of 99 subjects were assessed by sonography, and MNCSA was measured at three levels: forearm, carpal tunnel inlet (CTI), and carpal tunnel outlet (CTO). The association between MNCSA and demographic factors was assessed. Results: Mean MNCSA was 6.33 mm Conclusion: The normal MNCSA range in the Iranian population is 6.31 mm
