Effective mnemonic techniques for memorizing the peripheral nervous system: a focus on the brachial, lumbar, and sacral plexuses.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and aims: The complex anatomy of peripheral nerve plexuses, such as the brachial, lumbar, and sacral plexuses, poses significant challenges in medical education. Traditional educational methods often prove inadequate in facilitating the retention of detailed information about these nerve structures. This study aims to propose innovative mnemonic techniques to enhance memory retention and simplify the learning process for medical students and professionals. Methods: We developed and implemented various mnemonic techniques, including diagrams, rhyming mnemonics, and sequential methods, to facilitate the memorization of the peripheral nerve plexuses. Interpretation: The use of mnemonic techniques, including visual aids and structured learning strategies, can address the educational challenges posed by the intricate anatomy of peripheral nerve plexuses. These methods not only expedite the memorization of nerve branches but also elucidate their origins, enhancing diagnostic precision and therapeutic outcomes in clinical settings.
