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

We report the case of a 57-year-old male who presented to our emergency room due to progressive paresis of the muscles innervated by the deep branch of the radial nerve in the right forearm. The patient suffered from osteofibrous dysplasia and an x-ray revealed the polyostotic disease had also affected his radius. High resolution ultrasound revealed that an exostosis of the radius had caused compression of the posterior interosseous nerve unusually distally in the supinator tunnel. The patient underwent nerve decompression and recovered full strength in his wrist-, and finger extensors approximately 9 months postoperatively. This case report illustrates a case of a rare disease, i.e. osteofibrous dysplasia of the radius, in conjunction with the first published report of an unusually located nerve compression syndrome, i.e. supinator syndrome, caused by this very disease.
