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

Pudendal nerve entrapment clinically has a wide spectrum of presentation ranging from urinary to anorectal and sexual dysfunction. The caliber of the pudendal nerve should be matched with calibre of donor nerve for a successful nerve transfer. Hence, we aimed at evaluating the morphology, dimensions of pudendal nerve at various sites of entrapment and certain trajectory distances to approach the pudendal nerve surgically. The study was conducted at Department of Anatomy at a tertiary care hospital and medical college. A detailed dissection of pudendal nerve was done and the morphology and morphometry of the pudendal nerve were studied in 10 cadavers with equal sex distribution (5 male and 5 female). Cross-sectional area (CSA) of the pudendal nerve at various sites of entrapment (piriformis, sacrospinous ligament, sacrotuberous ligament, and at Alcock's canal) and trajectory distance of pudendal nerve from various anatomical landmarks (ischial spine, sacral tuberosity, pubic symphysis, and inferior pubic ramus) were measured using digital vernier caliper. The CSA of pudendal nerve was more at piriformis (4.04 mm
