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

Bilateral brachial plexus injury is rare following a motor vehicle accident in an adult. We report a 35-year-old man with a bilateral brachial plexus injury. Explaining the mechanism of such an injury is essential to prognosticate the outcome. Fall from the bike, and the position determines the mechanism. The head-shoulder hitting the surface has an avulsion injury (ipsilateral), and the recoiling effect causes traction injury to the contralateral side. Our case had a C5,6 avulsion injury on the right side (ipsilateral) and a C5,6 traction injury (contralateral) to his left side. Surgical exploration and distal nerve transfers were done on the right side. The patient improved his shoulder and elbow function of grade 3, neurolysis of the brachial plexus was done on the left side, and the recovery was complete at 12 months of follow-up
