One portal endoscopic release of the first extensor compartment in de Quervain's disease.

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
objectivesWe aimed to present preliminary result of one portal endoscopic assisted release of first dorsal compartment at wrist in a case series with de Quervain disease as a minimal invasive surgical method. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe patients, who underwent an endoscopic-assisted release of the first extensor compartment for de Quervain's disease by same hand surgeon between 2015 and 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. Operative treatment was considered if the patients did not respond to non-operative treatment including oral anti-inflammatory medications, splinting, and steroid injection. Surgical release was recommended after minimum four months of unsuccesful non-operative treatment, including a steroid injection. 10 wrists were treated with one portal endoscopic assisted release. All patients were evaluated at an average of 16.1 months follow-up using visual analog scale (VAS) pain ratings and the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score.
resultsThe mean operating time was 13.9 min (range, 10-21min). The mean VAS and DASH scores were improved from 8.2 to 1.9 and 70.51 to 2.81 respectively. No significant difference was found between operated and non-operated arms in postoperative pinch and strengths. Transient superficial radial nerve paresthesia (two wrists) and significant scar tenderness (one) were identified in three cases. There was no patient that complain of unsightly scar and tendon subluxation.
conclusionsOne portal endoscopic assisted release of the extensor compartment is an effective and safe minimal invasive procedure with similar complication rates reported previously in open and endoscopic procedures in patients with de Quervain's disease who are unresponsive to non-operative treatments. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV Therapeutic Study.
