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

Painful mononeuropathies in nonamputation patients are prevalent and have historically been difficult to treat. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is known to reduce pain in amputation patients and those with neuroma formation. However, there is little known about TMR in nonamputation patients, and there is a lack of described techniques for performing TMR in lower extremity nonamputation patients. This article presents techniques for TMR in the lower extremity for nonamputation patients using cadaver dissection and surgical videos. The authors describe tips and tricks for performing these procedures, and the rationale for selecting recipient muscles for TMR in the lower extremity in nonamputation patients is reviewed.
