High-voltage electrical burn with median nerve salvage using Axoguard Nerve Protector and anterolateral thigh free flap: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
High-voltage electrical burns present as complex peripheral nerves damage, with complete recovery of nerve function rarely seen, especially in mixed motor and sensory innervation injury. Current treatments such as autografts carry the risk of donor site morbidity and potential neuropathy. In this case, a 35-year-old line worker sustained an electrical burn while at work and examination revealed a large volar burn along the right arm, hand, left hand, chest, and leg. After debridement, exposure of the radial artery, median nerve, and flexor tendons in the right upper extremity was noted. Further operative examination confirmed compartment syndrome of the volar compartment. The median nerve was identified as extensively damaged but physically intact. A multimodality approach was taken to avoid donor site morbidity, with a right upper extremity fasciocutaneous anterolateral thigh free tissue transfer and an Axoguard Nerve Protector (40 × 7 mm). Functional recovery was demonstrated at 8-month follow up.
