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

Meralgia Paresthetica (MP) causes outer thigh discomfort, numbness, and tingling. Compression or injury to the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN), which gives sensory innervation to outer aspect of the thigh. It frequently gets impinged beneath the inguinal ligament resulting in in sensory impairment in the distribution of LFCN. Compression of the LFCN is a frequent cause of MP, whereas LFCN neuromas is a rare cause. This case report describes a unique case of Meralgia Paresthetica produced by a LFCN neuroma and enhances our knowledge of Meralgia Paresthetica.
