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

Background: The novel criteria for the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) have established imaging with nerve ultrasound (NUS) and magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) as complementary methods for CIDP diagnosis. Objectives: Our goal was to investigate the role of MRN and NUS for CIDP monitoring. Methods and design: We longitudinally examined 12 CIDP patients from 2016 to 2022 using NUS, MRN, nerve conduction studies (NCS), and clinical parameters (inflammatory neuropathy cause and treatment (INCAT)/overall disability sum score (ODSS)). NUS evaluated the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median, ulnar, radial, tibial, fibular, and sural nerve as well as the intranerve CSA variability (INV Results: Five patients showed clinical improvement/stability with corresponding improved or stable NCS/NUS parameters (number of nerves with increased CSA and INV Conclusion: CSA and INV
