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

The authors have reported on immediate nerve and tendon transfers postresection of a radial nerve-based malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in a 15-year-old female with neurofibromatosis. The median nerve branch to flexor carpi radialis was transferred to the posterior interosseous nerve, the median nerve branch to flexor digitorum superficialis was transferred to the nerve to extensor carpi radialis brevis, and the pronator teres tendon was transferred to the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon, with 3-year outcomes reported. Tumor excision, tendon, and nerve transfer yielded negative margins and remission. Functional wrist/finger extension appeared at 6 months and increased until 3 years of follow-up.
