Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Neurectomy With Nerve End Implantation for Meralgia Paresthetica: A Technique Guide.

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
Meralgia paresthetica is an uncommon but painful neuropathy causing anterolateral thigh pain. Compression or injury of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) leads to pain and/or numbness in its distribution throughout the thigh. Historically, surgical decompression of the LFCN just below the inguinal ligament was most commonly utilized for first-line surgical management, but recently, fully transecting the LFCN is becoming increasingly popular as more favorable outcomes are reported. This Technical Note describes our surgical approach to neurectomy and nerve end implantation for the treatment of meralgia paresthetica.
