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

A distal posterior interosseous nerve (DPIN) neuroma related to prior surgery of the wrist can lead to disabling chronic pain. Ultrasound may represent a useful diagnostic tool due to its high resolution and ability to detect iatrogenic neuromas along small nerves of the limbs. However, the utility of ultrasound in the evaluation of both the normal sonographic appearance of the DPIN and traumatic neuromas is limited. We present a series of two patients who suffered from chronic dorsal wrist postoperative pain, where ultrasound detected histologically confirmed DPIN neuromas. After DPIN resection, the pain of our two patients completely disappeared without any functional deficit.
