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

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical technique originally created to improve prosthetic function following upper extremity amputation. TMR has since been shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of chronic postamputation phantom and residual limb pain in both upper and lower extremity amputees and for neurogenic pain in the nonamputee patient population. This article provides a current review of the various indications for TMR and surgical techniques, organized by amputation site, timing, and regional anatomy.
