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

Electromyography (EMG) is used to assess the functional status of peripheral motor axons during surgical procedures and can help protect patients' neurological integrity intraoperatively. This is a position statement on intraoperative EMG monitoring from the American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring (ASNM) and updates prior ASNM position statement on EMG from 2005. This position statement is endorsed by ASNM and serves as an educational service to the neurophysiological community on the recommended use of EMG as a neurophysiological monitoring tool. It presents the rationale for EMG utilization and its clinical applications. It also covers the relevant anatomy, technical methodology for setup and signal acquisition, signal interpretation, anesthesia and physiological considerations, and documentation and credentialing requirements to optimize EMG monitoring to aid in protecting the peripheral nervous system during surgery.
