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

Brachial plexus injuries are the second most common perioperative peripheral nerve injuries. Malposition is a significant predisposing factor to these injuries. Additionally, some drugs, including tacrolimus, are known to predispose individuals to peripheral neuropathy. Herein, we present the electroneuromyography (EMG) findings within the first 48 hours for a patient who has been under tacrolimus treatment for five years due to liver transplantation and developed compression-induced reversible brachial plexopathy. Through this case, we highlighted that brachial plexus injury may not always result in axonal involvement and discussed the findings that may be encountered in early neurophysiological examinations.
