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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize factors that may contribute to revision surgery following primary cubital tunnel release (CuTR) surgery. Methods: A retrospective study was performed by reviewing all patients who underwent CuTR at a single institution between 2014 and 2021. Only primary Results: A total of 1367 patients met inclusion criteria. Revision rate following primary CuTR was 1.2 ​% (n ​= ​16). Of the factors evaluated, younger age (46.6 vs 57.0 years) and a history of cervical stenosis had a higher correlation with undergoing a revision. Patients who had revision surgery were more likely to have negative electrodiagnostic studies versus those who did not. Otherwise, there was no association between sex, race, tobacco use, medical comorbidities, symptom severity, bilateral symptoms, or concurrent surgery and the subsequent need for revision ulnar nerve decompression. Conclusions: Following primary Level of evidence: Prognostic, level IV.
