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

Introduction: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) imposes significant burdens, requiring therapies targeting both mechanical compression and inflammatory pathophysiology. While neurolysis addresses extrinsic compression and methylcobalamin promotes intrinsic nerve repair, their combined potential is underexplored. This study compared the efficacy of neurolysis monotherapy, methylcobalamin monotherapy, and combination therapy across functional, electrophysiological, and inflammatory outcomes in PNI. Methods: Ninety PNI patients were randomized to three groups ( Results: The combination group demonstrated significantly higher total therapeutic efficacy (86.67%) compared to neurolysis alone (50.00%) and methylcobalamin alone (53.33%; Discussion: The combination of neurolysis and methylcobalamin synergistically enhances functional recovery, nerve conduction, joint mobility, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory effects in PNI, demonstrating superior clinical efficacy compared to either treatment administered alone.
