Semiquantitative assessment of preganglionic nerves for chronic immune-mediated neuropathies using brachial plexus magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Brachial plexus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important noninvasive supplementary diagnostic method of chronic immune peripheral neuropathies, but few MRI studies on the preganglionic nerves have been conducted. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to establish a reliable assessment for brachial plexus preganglionic nerve thickness and to use this method to assess and compare nerve characteristics in various types of peripheral neuropathies. Methods: Hospitalized patients diagnosed as positive for anti-neurofascin-155 (NF155)-positive autoimmune nodopathy (AN) (NF155 Results: A total of 122 participants were enrolled, including 28 with NF155 Conclusions: This semiquantitative assessment can be a valuable tool for measuring preganglionic nerve enlargement, which was found to be decreased, respectively, in those with NF155
