Epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of intra-abdominal traumatic neuromas - a narrative review.
Review in BMC gastroenterology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Traumatic neuroma (TN) is a disorganized proliferation of injured nerves arising from the axons and Schwann cells. Although TN rarely occurs in the abdominal cavity, the incidence of TN may be underestimated because of the large number of asymptomatic patients. TN can cause persistent pain, which seriously affects quality of life. TN of the biliary system can cause bile duct obstruction, leading to acute cholangitis. It is difficult to differentiate TN from malignancies or recurrence of malignancy, which results in a number of patients receiving aggressive treatment. We collected cases reports of intra-abdominal TN over the past 30 years form PubMed and cases diagnosed in our medical center over the past 20 years, which is the largest case series of intra-abdominal TN to the best of our knowledge. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, classification, diagnosis, and management of intra-abdominal TN.
