Don't be perplexed by the plexus! A practical approach to brachial plexus ultrasound.
Review in BJR open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ultrasound is as accurate as MRI in the detection of most brachial pathologies but tends to be underutilized in clinical practice compared to MRI. The main reason for this under-usage is a relative lack of knowledge regarding how to perform brachial plexus ultrasound and a lack of awareness of the ultrasound appearances of brachial pathologies. This review serves to re-address this imbalance by providing a practical overview on how to perform brachial plexus ultrasound as well as highlighting the ultrasound appearances of common pathologies likely to be encountered in everyday clinical practice.
