Management of Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries at British Columbia Children's Hospital.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 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
A multidisciplinary team at BC Children's Hospital provides brachial plexus birth injury management for our provincial catchment area. Although compared with many centers we service a relatively small clinic population, we have the benefit of universal health care, province-wide reach, and accessible research infrastructure. In 2008, we created the Sup-ER protocol, which includes an orthosis that passively positions the neonatal shoulder into more idealized glenohumeral contact during early growth. We have since shown that our Sup-ER patients have better shoulder outcomes, require less brachial plexus surgery, and need fewer shoulder tendon transfers than those patients treated in our clinic prior to 2008. We have also found that the rate and degree of elbow flexion contractures are reduced compared with results reported in the literature.
