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

The improvement in peripheral nerve repair is still challenging, with the process being difficult and frequently unsatisfying. Injuries, even minor ones, can lead to limitations, including the loss of important life functions such as fingers, hands, or all limbs. Our previous research on animals revealed that the distal part of autologous predegenerated nerve grafts, which were injured and left in place for 7 days, was more capable of supporting reconstructed nerve regeneration. Little is known about the efficacy of using predegenerated autologous grafts in humans. Encouraged by promising results in animal models, we decided to investigate this process in humans. A total of 31 patients were evaluated in the study; 19 predegenerated (injured and left in situ for 7 days) autologous sural nerve implants and 12 fresh sural nerve implants were used, and the period of 2 years after operation was chosen as the time of final clinical assessment. Clinical assessment and motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity were assessed. All data were statistically analyzed using stepwise regression testing and a one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's test for continuous values and the Mann-Whitney U test for ordinal values. Differences were considered statistically significant for
