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

Despite intensive research and development of systems for restoration of sensory information, these have so far only been the subject of study protocols. A new noninvasive feedback system translates pressure loads on the forefoot and hindfoot into gait-synchronized vibrotactile stimulation of a defined skin area. To increase the authenticity, this treatment can be supplemented by a surgical procedure. Targeted sensory reinnervation (TSR) describes a microsurgical procedure in which a defined skin area on the amputated stump of the residual limb is first denervated and then reinnervated by a specific, transposed sensory nerve harvested from the amputated part of the limb. This creates a sensory interface at the residual stump. This article presents the clinical and orthopedic technical treatment pathway with this innovative vibrotactile feedback system and explains in detail the surgical procedure of TSR after amputation of the lower limb.
