Ultrasound-guided steroid injection for the treatment of de Quervain's disease: an anatomy-based approach.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo suggest different ultrasound-guided steroid injection (USI) techniques based on anatomical variations of the first extensor compartment (FEC), and to evaluate the usefulness of it, in patients with de Quervain's disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-eight patients who underwent USI for de Quervain's disease were included. Anatomical variations were classified into complete sub-compartmentalization (n = 11), distal incomplete sub-compartmentalization (n = 5), and no sub-compartmentalization (n = 12) on ultrasound. Involved sub-compartments were recorded in patients with complete sub-compartmentalization. USIs were performed based on the anatomical variations: in both sub-compartments (n = 2) or only in the affected sub-compartment (n = 9) depending on the location of tenosynovitis involvement, in patients with complete sub-compartmentalization; in proximal FEC in patients with distal incomplete sub-compartmentalization (n = 5); in the common compartment in patients with no sub-compartmentalization (n = 12). Medical charts were retrospectively reviewed for evaluation of clinical outcome at follow-up visits.
resultsTwenty-three out of 28 patients were followed up with a mean period of 31.2 days after injection (6~87 days). Mean VAS was 7.96 before injection (range: 4 to 10), which was significantly reduced to 0.65 at rest and 1.57 during activity at follow-up visits (p < 0.05). Twenty-two out of 23 patients were satisfied with the results. The mean proportion of subjective pain reduction was 82.0% (median 95%).
conclusionUltrasound-guided steroid injections using different injection techniques based on the anatomical variations of the FEC have shown to be beneficial in the management of de Quervain's disease.
