PREVENTION OF SYMPTOMATIC NEUROMA BY USING SYNTHETIC CONDUITS IN FINGER AMPUTATION STUMPS.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objective: Compare the formation of symptomatic neuromas in patients submitted to digital amputations, with and without nerve conduits (Neurolac Methods: Prospective, case-control study, including 14 patients with digital amputations (total of 17 fingers) whose conduits were used on the ulnar or radial side, while the contralateral side was used in the same patients as control. The Tinel test, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament, and two-point discrimination tests were evaluated at one week, two weeks, one month, three months, and six months postoperatively. Results: Using nerve conduits (Neurolac Conclusion: There is a favorable trend towards using conduits as prophylaxis of symptomatic neuroma formation since the nerves in which they were used showed fewer clinical signs of neuroma formation six months after surgery.
