Physical therapy in patients with complex regional pain syndrome type I after distal radius fracture: a case series.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
[Purpose] To describe the effect of a physical therapy program in function improvement and pain reduction in patients older than 60 years with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type I after distal radius fracture (DRF) treated conservatively. [Participants and Methods] Fifty-four patients received a 6 weeks physical therapy program that included in hydrotherapy, manual therapy, and exercises based on motor skill training. Two evaluations were performed, the wrist/hand function was assessed with Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionnaire, the upper extremity function with the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, grip strength with Jamar Dynamometer, and pain intensity with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). [Results] At the end of the treatment, PRWE showed a decrease of 30.9 points, DASH 34.7 points, and the VAS, 3.4 cm. The grip strength showed an increase of 14.4%. [Conclusion] A physical therapy program based on hydrotherapy, manual therapy, and exercises in a short term improves the function and reduces the pain in patients older than 60 years with CRPS I after DRF treated conservatively.
