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

Peripheral neurological complications are seen after SARS-CoV-2 infections. These are mostly immune-mediated such as Guillaine-Barré syndrome or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. We present a 39-year-old man treated with a right sciatic nerve allotransplantation with subsequent clinical and electrophysiological improvement within 30 months of observation. After SARS-CoV-2 infection, he developed clinical deterioration with selective sciatic nerve demyelination in a nerve conduction study. Nerve conduction velocity returned to previous values within six months of treatment. Intravenous immunoglobulins were used at standard dosage. The inflammatory immune process seemed to be a cause of peripheral demyelination isolated to a nerve allograft with good reaction for intravenous immunoglobulin treatment.
