Epidemiology and regional variance of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries in Sweden: A 15-year observational study.
Observational study in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionTraumatic peripheral nerve injuries pose significant challenges to healthcare systems and individuals, affecting sensory function, causing neuropathic pain, and impairing quality of life. Despite their impact, comprehensive studies on the epidemiology and regional variance of these injuries are scarce. Understanding the incidence, trends, and anatomical distribution of such injuries is essential for targeted interventions and resource allocation.
methodsThis observational study utilized register-based data from the Swedish National Patient Register covering the period from 2008 to 2022. Incidence rates, trends, and anatomical distribution of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Poisson regression modeling, and regional comparisons.
resultsHigher incidences of peripheral nerve injuries were observed among men compared to women across all age groups. The hand and wrist were the most commonly affected sites. Regional variations in incidence rates were evident, with some regions consistently exhibiting higher rates compared to others. Notably, a decreasing trend in injuries was observed over the study period.
conclusionThis study underscores the importance of targeted interventions and preventive strategies, considering sex, age, and regional disparities. Further research incorporating individual patient-level data is warranted to enhance our understanding and inform tailored interventions to reduce the burden of these injuries.
