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
Ulnar nerve injury following distal radius fracture is uncommon and typically presents as transient neuropraxia. We report a case of traumatic ulnar nerve neuroma-in-continuity following open distal radius fracture in a 57-year-old man with associated scapholunate dissociation. Two months after surgical fixation, he developed intrinsic muscle wasting over the left hand and persistent sensory deficits in the ring and little fingers. Nerve conduction study and EMG suggested axonotmesis of the ulnar nerve. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated fusiform thickening of ulnar nerve consistent with neuroma-in-continuity. Patient underwent excision of neuroma-in-continuity with nerve allograft reconstruction and dynamic tendon transfer using flexor digitorum superficialis tendon of the middle finger. At 9 months, the patient demonstrated resolution of claw deformity and satisfactory functional recovery. Persistent neurological deficits after distal radius fractures should prompt early investigation and consideration for structural nerve injury.
