Tendoscopic versus open release for de Quervain's disease: earlier recovery with 7.21 year follow-up.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo compare the time return to work and long-term results of tendoscopic versus open technique for de Quervain's disease.
methodsFrom 2005 to 2013, either tendoscopic or open decompression was performed on 56 consecutive patients (56 wrists) with symptomatic de Quervain's disease despite a minimum of 3 months non-operative treatment. Of the 50 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 41 patients were followed-up for a mean of 7.21 years postoperatively. Among these 41 wrists, 20 underwent tendoscopic release (group A), and 21 underwent open release (group B). The clinical evaluations were performed preoperatively, 1 month postoperatively and at last follow-up visit, using visual analog scale (VAS); the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Outcome score; and the Finkelstein's test. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) was used as an esthetic evaluation tool of the scar at last follow-up.
resultsNo significant baseline differences were found between two groups. The average time return to work in group A was less than in group B (P < 0.05), The mean VAS and DASH scores improved significantly in both groups at 1 month and last follow-up visit (P < 0.001). At 1 month, the scores in group A were significantly better than in group B (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). There was no difference between groups at last follow-up. In addition, the improvement of the mean DASH score was significantly greater in group A than in group B (34.74 ± 10.99 in group A and 23.58 ± 12.01 in group B, P < 0.01) at 1 month. For POSAS scale, both the OSAS and PSAS scores were significantly better in group A. One patient in group A had cephalic vein injury and 3 patients in group B was involved with radial sensory nerve injury. All patients showed negative on Finkelstein's test at last follow-up.
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that tendoscopic technique for de Quervain's disease could provide earlier symptom relief and earlier recovery with fewer complications and more desirable scar, as well as equivalent successful long-term outcome, when compared with traditional open release technique.
