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

Sciatic nerve (SN) is the thickest and longest nerve of the body. Deviations from the normal anatomical origin and level of bifurcation of SN have been frequently reported. In the present case, we are presenting a unique scenario of origin of terminal branches of the SN-tibial nerve (TN) and common peroneal nerve (CPN) in the pelvic region itself from divisions arising directly from the lumbosacral plexus. This variation was associated with origin of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve from the superior division of CPN with anomalous communicating branches between pudendal nerve and TN. The unique characteristics of the present case are the presence of 'pseudoganglion' found on the inferior division of TN. The present case stands out as the first of its kind to mention such pseudoganglion. Knowledge of some unusual findings like presence of pseudoganglion and intercommunications between nerves have clinical implications in anesthesiology, neurology, sports medicine, and surgery.
