Ultrasound elastographic evaluation of the median nerve in hemodialysis with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to compare the elasticity of the median nerve (MN) between hemodialysis (HD) patients without carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and with CTS, and to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of the elasticity of the MN in HD-CTS. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe MN in 22 HD patients without CTS and 49 HD-CTS patients was studied. The cross-sectional area (CSA) and the elasticity of the MN, which was measured as the subcutaneous fat/median nerve (SF/MN) strain ratio, were evaluated.
resultsThe mean SF/MN strain ratio in the groups that had received hemodialysis for 0-5, >5-10, and >10-15 years was 1.4 ± 0.28, 1.7 ± 0.18, and 2.0 ± 0.67, respectively. The mean CSA of the MN in the three groups was 9.9 ± 1.30, 11.6 ± 1.61, and 13.4 ± 2.14 mm
conclusionSonoelastography helps to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasonographic assessment of CTS.
