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 common peroneal nerve is one of the most frequent sites of neuropathy around the knee. Owing to its superficial course, it is highly vulnerable to both trauma and mechanical compression. High-frequency ultrasonography enables real-time, dynamic evaluation of the common peroneal nerve along its entire trajectory from the popliteal fossa to the exit from the peroneal tunnel. This article presents a stepwise, structured ultrasound protocol for the assessment of the common peroneal nerve in the peri-knee region. Supported by illustrative images and videos, the protocol is expected to facilitate practical applicability in daily practice and improve diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the guiding role of ultrasonography in interventional planning is highlighted.
