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

Restoring upper limb function is critical in individuals with central paralysis, and hand control is a priority in patients with neurological impairments. Functional electrical stimulation with implantable electrodes targeting the peripheral nervous system has the potential to selectively recruit hand muscles and generate multiple functional hand movements. However, the implantation of electrodes in the forearm or elbow areas requires multiple incisions for surgery, and elbow joint movements cannot be performed. In this study, we designed and implanted two epineural cuffs on the median and radial nerves in the distal brachial plexus of a single Japanese macaque (
