Brachialis to Anterior Interosseous Nerve Transfer: Comprehensive Anatomic Rationale.

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 AND
objectivesDistal nerve transfers for muscle reinnervation and restoration of function after upper and lower motor neuron lesions are a well-established surgical approach. The brachialis to anterior interosseous nerve (BrAIN) transfer is performed for prehension reanimation in lower brachial plexus and traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries. The aim of the study is to shed light on the inconsistent results observed in patients who undergo the BrAIN transfer.
methodsAn anatomic dissection was conducted on 30 fresh upper limb specimens to examine the intraneural topography of the median nerve (MN) in the upper arm at the level of the BrAIN transfer and the presence of intraneural fascicular interconnections distally.
resultsFascicular interconnections between the AIN and other MN branches were consistently found in the distal third of the upper arm. The first interconnection was at 3.85 ± 1.82 cm proximal to the interepicondylar line, and the second one, after further proximal neurolysis, was at 9.45 ± 1.16 cm from the interepicondylar line. Intraneural topography of the AIN at the transfer level varied, with dorsomedial, dorsolateral, and purely dorsal locations observed.
conclusionConsistent fascicular interconnections between the AIN and MN branches and intraneural topography variability of the MN may lead to aberrant reinnervation.
