Isolated Left Peroneal Neuropathy Following Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Neuropathy of the lower extremities is a rare surgical complication, usually caused by compression, stretching, or direct injury to the nerve during the procedure. Although such injuries have been documented in relation to laparotomies, there are few reports concerning minimally invasive procedures. Here, we present the case of a 46-year-old woman with a long-standing history of abnormal uterine bleeding. Imaging studies revealed large uterine myomatosis, indicating the need for a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. During the immediate postoperative period, the patient developed a steppage gait and an inability to dorsiflex her left foot, which is consistent with peroneal nerve neuropathy. The clinical course and additional tests confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient made a progressive functional recovery following rehabilitation. This case highlights the importance of proper surgical positioning and ergonomic measures during laparoscopic surgery to prevent compressive nerve injuries, as well as the importance of early identification to promote favorable clinical outcomes.
