Diagnosis and Management of Nerve Injuries Caused by Pediatric Upper Extremity Fractures.
Review in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 2023. 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
Although nerve injuries occur commonly with pediatric upper extremity fractures, there is very little existing literature to guide the management of those nerve injuries that do not recover during routine fracture healing and follow-up, and even less guidance is available regarding the choice of diagnostic tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with nerve sequences, electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction velocities, (NCV), ultrasound (US), or other modalities. In addition, patterns of nerve injury and timing of nerve recovery differ amongst different fractures. This review article describes the nerve injuries and specific details of humeral shaft, supracondylar, Monteggia fracture-dislocations, and forearm fractures as well as the various available diagnostic tests. We synthesize the available literature, of which most is in the adult population, as well as the extensive clinical experience of the authors, all of whom specialize in pediatric hand and upper extremity.
