The Effect of Scaphoid and Hamate Mobilization on Treatment of Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Article in Anesthesiology and pain medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05466162 (Effects of Soft Tissue Massage Along With Mobilization Technique on Intensity of Symptoms and Functional Status of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - A Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study was to evaluate the effect of hamate and scaphoid bone mobilization alongside splinting in women with carpal tunnel syndrome.
methodsIn this randomized clinical trial, 40 participants were randomly assigned into 2 groups. The intervention group received splinting with scaphoid and hamate mobilization, while the control group received splinting only. Outcome variables were pain (based on visual analogue scale), symptom severity and functional status (based on Boston questionnaire), and nerve conduction study measured before and 10 weeks after the treatments.
resultsAt the end of study, both groups showed an improvement in pain and symptom severity, functional status as well as median nerve conduction study. Although there was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding changes in median nerve sensory and motor distal latencies; the improvement was significantly higher in pain and symptom severity as well as functional status in mobilization group (P-Value < 0.05).
conclusionsHamate and scaphoid mobilization can be used as an effective option in women with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Further investigation is required for determining long-term effects and cost-effectiveness of mobilization in carpal tunnel syndrome.
