Comparison of Functionality Level, Disability and Quality of Life in Subjects with Peripheral Nerve Repair in the Upper Extremity.
Article in World journal of plastic 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: Peripheral nerve damage is a very important factor in patients' quality of life and functionality for various reasons. We aimed to compare the functionality level, disability and quality of life in subjects with peripheral nerve repair in the upper extremity. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with nerve injuries in 2019. Among those patients, Eighty-five were selected as the sample. The instruments used in this study included the health-related quality of life standard questionnaire (SF-36), and the disability of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (DASH-38). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 and one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests. Results: Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the disability score in the groups of patients was not significant. In addition, according to the results of the one-way ANOVA test, the quality of life score was not significant among the patient groups. Conclusion: Considering that peripheral nerve damage has a significant impact on patients' quality of life and functionality, apart from more research on the subject, it is necessary to provide support for patients to improve their quality of life.
