Modified Camitz versus BRAND Procedures for the Treatment of Severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Comparative Trial Study.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2020. 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
backgroundCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is characterized by complications such as pain, paresthesia, and numbness in the fingers. There are some surgical therapies for the management of severe carpal tunnel, but differences exist between the treatments available for creating the opposition. The current study was conducted to compare the effect of modified Camitz and BRAND techniques on thumb opposition in patients with severe CTS.
methodsA total of 40 patients with severe CTS who were candidates for opponensplasty were enrolled in this clinical trial study at Alzahra and Kashani hospitals, Isfahan, Iran, from 2014 to 2018. The patients were divided into two groups of modified Camitz and BRAND. Quick DASH-9 and Kapandji scores as well as pulp and side pinch and pronation angle were assessed before and after the surgeries.
resultsQuick DASH-9 score, Kapandji score, pulp and side pinch and pronation angle significantly improved post-operatively (
conclusionThe findings of the present study demonstrated that, both Modified Camitz and BRAND techniques are effective and safe techniques, yielding high improvements, but no serious complications. Both techniques can be considered for treatment of patients with severe CTS.
