Tibial to ulnar nerve amplitude ratio as a marker of length-dependent neuropathy.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 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
Objective: To evaluate the utility of nerve conduction studies as a marker of length-dependent neuropathy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 44 chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) patients and 365 genetically confirmed Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) patients, including those with Results: The tibial to ulnar nerve distal compound muscle action potential (T/U CMAP) amplitude ratio was significantly higher in CIDP patients compared to those with genetically confirmed CMT, CIDP-mimicking CMT, and gene-based subgroups. This ratio yielded the highest area under the curve (AUC: 0.95) among all evaluated parameters, with a cutoff value of 0.385 demonstrating high diagnostic sensitivity (95.5%) and specificity (85.5%). In CIDP-mimicking CMT group, a similar sensitivity and specificity were observed. Conclusions: The T/U CMAP amplitude ratio is a simple, robust electrophysiological index of length-dependent neuropathy. Significance: This marker offers a reliable and accessible way to distinguish between acquired and inherited neuropathies, improving diagnostic accuracy and helping prioritize genetic testing.
