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

Targeted muscle reinnervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) are well-described techniques used to treat or prevent postamputation neuroma and phantom limb pain after below-knee amputation (BKA). These techniques can be performed via a posterior approach (PA) or a through-the-wound approach (TTWA). We performed a review of patients who underwent active nerve management at the time of BKA between February 2019 and May 2023. Patients were stratified into PA and TTWA cohorts. A total of 36 patients underwent active nerve management at the time of BKA-16 PA and 20 TTWA. The PA was found to take significantly longer than the TTWA, with an operative time of 251 minutes compared with 208 minutes, respectively (
