Sonographic Imaging of the Median Nerve in Elderly Patients With Motor Disability.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Objective The aim of this study is to examine the median nerve (MN) cross-sectional area (CSA) by ultrasound at the level of the carpal tunnel in elderly patients with motor disability. Materials and methods The study sample included 124 median nerves in 62 participants; 16 of them were disabled elderly patients (13 males, three females), mean age 66.6, mean height 167.1 cm, mean weight 83.9 kg, mean BMI 29.9. Twenty-three were young controls (six males, 17 females), mean age 48.4, mean height 154.9 cm, mean weight 79.8 kg, mean BMI 32.7, and 23 were elderly nondisabled participants (13 males, 10 females), mean age 63.6, mean height 161.9 cm, mean weight 80.56 kg, mean BMI 30.88. Results The mean CSA of the MN in the elderly disabled group was 11 mm
