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

In non-vasculitic immune-mediated neuropathies, imaging studies demonstrate an enlargement not only of clinically involved but also of clinically intact nerves. The present study aimed to present a pattern of nerve swelling and its relation to nerve function. In a group of patients with dysimmune motor and sensorimotor mononeuropathies, nerve cross-sectional areas (CSAs) were measured using ultrasonography (US) and compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes using electrodiagnostic (EDx) studies. Nerve CSAs were compared in (1) clinically involved, (2) swollen and clinically uninvolved, and (3) non-swollen (clinically uninvolved) nerves. Patients' non-swollen nerves were also compared to those of controls. In swollen nerves, the correlation between nerve CSA and CMAP amplitude was calculated. Twenty-two patients (12 men) and 50 controls (28 men) were included in the study. Clinically involved nerves were thicker than swollen segments of clinically intact nerves (
