"Dropping objects": a potential index of severe carpal tunnel syndrome.

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
Patients affected by carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often report finding themselves "dropping objects". This symptom is perceived as a severe and frustrating problem. We investigated the occurrence of "dropping objects" in a sample of 532 patients affected by CTS, studied with a multidimensional protocol (clinical, neurophysiological, and patient-oriented). To ensure that the definition of "dropping objects" was index of abnormality, we evaluated a control group interviewing 200 subjects. In order to evaluate if "dropping objects" was an index of more severe CTS impairment, we compared the severity measures between the patients with and without this condition. Severity of CTS multidimensionally assessed was significantly greater in patients with a history of dropped objects than those without. Moreover, "dropping objects" was more frequent in females, older patients, and in those patients with more functional impairment. The occurrence of "dropping objects" in CTS patients seems to be an index of CTS severity.
