The cubital tunnel syndrome caused by intraneural ganglion cyst of the ulnar nerve at the elbow: a case report.
Article in BMC neurology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundCubital tunnel syndrome is common nerve compression syndrome among peripheral nerve compression diseases. However, the syndrome caused by intraneural ganglion cysts has been rarely reported. Medical approaches, like ultrasound-guided aspiration and open surgical treatment remain to be discussed. CASE PRESENTATION: A 57-year-old woman presented with occasional pain, numbness and paralysis in her left hand and a palpable, painless mass in the ulnar side of her left elbow. Ultrasound-guided aspiration of the mass was performed to decompress the ulnar nerve. The patient experienced an evident release of pain in her hand, but symptoms of numbness and paralysis recurred 3 months later which greatly bothered the patient's daily life. After evaluation, we had to perform an open surgery to excise the cyst. External neurolysis and anterior subcutaneous transposition were done. The patient was followed up for 2 years, and she made a complete recovery with no functional limitation.
conclusionsThe symptoms caused by intraneural ganglion cyst can be alleviated by accurate puncture. But puncture may be not complete and symptoms could recur. Complete external neurolysis can be counted as a complete and reliable treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis, careful preoperative imaging assessment and full decompression can be expected to receive a good rehabilitation.
