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

The reconstruction of arm and hand functions is of enormous importance for tetraplegic patients as it enables at least some degree of independence. Depending on the level of the spinal cord injury, certain residual functions are present in the arms which can be used for surgical reconstruction of upper extremity functions. By utilizing tendon and nerve transfers missing functions can at least be partially reconstructed. Tendon transfers are a proven technique with reliable results that can be performed at any time regardless of the type of accident. Due to the frequent presence of lower motor neuron damage, it is essential to consider the optimal time window for nerve transfer interventions. From the multitude of surgical options, an individual reconstruction plan must be created for each patient, which considers multiple factors. The combination of nerve transfers and later completing the functional reconstruction by tendon transfers is the preferred concept of the authors of this article.
