Motor nerve transfers for reconstruction of traumatic upper extremity nerve injuries - a scoping review.
Review in JPRAS open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Peripheral nerve injuries to the radial, median, and ulnar nerves have been traditionally treated via direct repair or interposition nerve grafts. Late presentation or failed functional restoration may be salvaged with tendons transfers. Nerve transfers may be deployed either as an adjunct to a proximal reconstruction or as a primary reconstructive strategy, and these techniques are being increasingly adopted as the published evidence matures. The advantages of nerve transfers include shorter reinnervation distances, restoration of original muscle action, and maintenance of independent muscle function. Tendon transfers are reliable, not dependent on time, and the functional use of the limb is often achieved quickly,. Hybrid combinations that combine nerve and tendon transfers can also be used to maximize the recovery potential. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of nerve transfer possibilities after peripheral nerve injuries and guide management decisions for clinicians treating patients with upper limb paralysis from peripheral nerve injuries.
