Two Cases of Pediatric Common Peroneal Nerve Palsy Associated With Intermittent Pneumatic Compression.

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
Common peroneal nerve palsy occurs as a result of compression of the fibular head and has been reported in adults as a complication of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), but not in children. In this report, we present two cases of common peroneal nerve palsy. The first occurred in a 13-year-old girl with sepsis and the second in a 12-year-old boy who underwent vocal cord fixation. In both cases, we suspected the involvement of the IPC performed to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pediatric intensive care unit admission. It is crucial to ensure proper sizing and fitting of the IPC devices to avoid covering the fibular head and apply appropriate decompression. Moreover, recognizing risk factors, such as body position and thinness, is essential for understanding the onset of common peroneal nerve palsy.
