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

purposeThe ulnar nerve might undergo compression due to traumatic or non-traumatic pathological conditions or altered anatomy within the extent of the distal arm to the proximal hand, leading to ulnar neuropathy. There are certain anatomical sites where the increased ulnar nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) values indicate probable compression and can be diagnosed by the high-resolution Ultrasonography (USG) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in symptomatic patients. The ulnar nerve CSA varies across the population, and there is limited data available for the Indian population. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the CSA measurement of the ulnar nerve in various predefined anatomical sites.

methodsThe CSA of the ulnar nerve was studied in 64 (34 Male, 30 Female) formalin-fixed cadaveric upper limbs in various predefined anatomical sites. The statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel and Stata 12 software.

resultsThe average CSA of the ulnar nerve was 4.77 ± 2.21 mm

conclusionThus, this study provides a baseline value of ulnar nerve CSA for the East Indian population, which might help clinicians to diagnose ulnar neuropathy.
