Early multimodal rehabilitation and functional outcomes of a left brachial plexus injury after general anesthesia: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 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
Brachial plexus injury (BPI) is a common perioperative complication, often caused by intraoperative trauma or improper positioning during surgery. While some BPIs recover spontaneously, many patients experience long-term functional impairments, particularly in the upper limb. This case is distinguished by its focus on a rare perioperative iatrogenic C5-C6 BPI in an adolescent following laparoscopic surgery. Crucially, unlike many traditional protocols, an early multimodal rehabilitation program was implemented within only one week of diagnosis. This program incorporated physical therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and progressive resistance training. After six months, the patient achieved full motor recovery and regained unrestricted mobility in his left upper limb. This case highlights the importance of very early intervention in optimizing functional outcomes and effectively preventing secondary complications like muscle atrophy, even in patients with potential for spontaneous recovery.
