[Peripheral nerve grafting].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivePeripheral nerve lesions often lead to significant and permanent loss of motor and sensory function. The aim of peripheral nerve grafting is to bridge nerve defects. INDICATIONS: When tension-free nerve repair is not possible, peripheral nerve grafting is indicated. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Local infection, insufficient soft tissue coverage, significant muscle atrophy or joint contraction in case of "motor" nerve grafting, lack of microsurgical instruments or experience, life-threatening injuries. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Exposure and preparation of the nerve stumps. Choosing and preparation of the donor nerve. Approximation. Nerve repair. Nerve reconstruction must always be tension-free as nerve repair with tension frequently leads to disruption of nerve healing and poor functional outcome. Autologous nerve grafting from various donor sites leads to excellent functional results with little sensory deficits at the donor regions. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Limited immobilization, physiotherapy, ergotherapy, regular clinical and neurological assessments.
resultsOutcome of peripheral nerve grafting may, for example, depend on defect length, caliber and quality of the injured nerve, quality of the donor nerve, microsurgical expertise of the surgeon, time of reconstruction, and age of the patient.
