1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 35-year-old woman first experienced left upper limb weakness at 17 years old, after which it repeatedly recurred and then remitted. She was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome with median nerve hyperintensity by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Surgical treatment was ineffective. We suspected hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy because of enlargement distal to the brachial plexus on MRI and administered steroid therapy, after which the weakness improved. Genetic testing revealed a point mutation in SEPT9. Because lesions outside the brachial plexus can be seen in hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy, the diagnosis should be based on typical characteristics and the family history.
