Triple Nerve Transfer to Treat West Nile-Induced Neuropathy: A Novel Approach to a Complex Problem: A Case Report.
Article in JBJS case connector, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
caseA 49-year-old woman with West Nile encephalitis presented with right arm paralysis and left arm weakness. After limited success with nonsurgical treatments, she underwent surgery involving 3 nerve transfers based on brachial plexus reconstruction techniques. This led to gradual improvement in arm movement and restoration of ADL's.
conclusionSince treatment of the underlying disease may not be enough to restore nerve function, an algorithm incorporating brachial plexus principles may enhance treatment outcomes. Though this case study demonstrates success, we believe this technique deserves further exploration as a potential solution for neurovascular damage following West Nile infection.
