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

Brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBI) affecting the C5 to C8 nerve roots commonly impair wrist extension, making its restoration a key goal of reconstruction. However, children with persistent wrist extension paralysis have limited surgical options, particularly in the setting of extensive plexus injury. Notably, infants with C5-C8 injuries often lose wrist extension while preserving median nerve function due to intact T1 contributions. We report two infants in whom wrist extension was successfully restored using an anterior interosseous nerve-to-extensor carpi radialis brevis (AIN-ECRB) nerve transfer.
