Guyon Canal Syndrome: lack of management in a case of unresolved handlebar palsy.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo present the clinical diagnostic features including management of Guyon canal syndrome in a case with unresolved sensory deficits in a young female cyclist. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: After 14 days of cycling across Canada, a 23-year old female experienced sensory loss, followed by atrophy and a "claw" hand appearance of her left hand. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: Treatment included cervical chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue therapy and the use of cycling gloves. Seven years after the initial injury a lack of sensation in the ulnar nerve distribution of her left hand has persisted. DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates that a lack of proper management can lead to permanent sensory loss and is worth highlighting. Various therapists evaluated the patient's symptoms and provided minimal care. No diagnosis was given, nor were appropriate measures taken for her to understand the risks of continuing to ride. SUMMARY: Although treatment for Guyon Canal Syndrome can be as easy as cessation from cycling until symptoms subside, other treatment options could be utilized to help manage ulnar nerve compression injuries in cyclists.
