Diffusion tensor imaging of mild-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome: correlation with nerve conduction study and clinical tests.

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
The purpose of this study was to assess diffusion tensor imaging in the diagnosis of mild-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and to correlate fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with nerve conduction study and clinical tests. This prospective study was conducted upon 39 patients (9 males, 30 females; mean age = 33 years) with early stage of CTS. Twenty age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were included as a control group. All patients underwent clinical tests and nerve conduction studies with calculation of the distal motor latency (DML) and distal sensory latency (DSL). Patients with CTS and volunteers underwent diffusion tensor imaging of the median nerve. The cross-sectional area (CSA), FA, and ADC of the median nerve were calculated. There was significant difference in FA and ADC between patients and controls (P = 0.001 respectively) and between mild and moderate CTS (P = 0.001 respectively). The cutoff FA and ADC of the median nerve used for the diagnosis of CTS were 0.45 and 1.31 × 10
