Observation of the therapeutic effect and analysis of risk factors in the acute repair of traumatic digital nerve injury.

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
purposeTo investigate differences in clinical efficacy and prognostic factors among surgical techniques for traumatic digital nerve complete transection injuries, thereby providing scientific evidence for clinical treatment selection.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with traumatic digital nerve complete transection injuries treated surgically at the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022. Patients were divided into epineurial suture group and perineurial suture group based on repair techniques. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the modified British medical research council scale (BMRCs), Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test (G1-G5), the trial standards for evaluation of partial function of the upper extremity of the Chinese society for surgery of the hand of the Chinese Medical Association, and self-completed Douleur Neuropathique 4. Patients were stratified by BMRCs (≥S3: good sensory recovery; <S3: poor sensory recovery), and by S-DN4 (≥3: neuropathic pain positive; <3: neuropathic pain negative). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors affecting sensory recovery and neuropathic pain development. Group comparisons were conducted using rank-sum tests, χ
resultsA total of 152 patients were included (88 in epineurial suture group; 64 in perineurial suture group). The cohort comprised 127 males and 25 females, with a mean age of (35.2 ± 12.4) years and mean body mass index of (23.13 ± 3.64) kg/m
conclusionThis study demonstrates that perineurial suture technique achieves superior sensory recovery outcomes compared to epineurial suture, despite longer operating times. Furthermore, smoking status, diabetes, and concomitant vascular injury may be primary risk factors affecting digital nerve prognosis.
