Carpal tunnel syndrome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis: an electrophysiological and ultrasonographic study.
Observational study in Rheumatology international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
This study aimed to investigate the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), compare the electrophysiological and ultrasonographic findings and evaluate related variables. Cut-off value of median nerve cross-sectional area (MCSA) was determined for the diagnosis of CTS. 70 RA patients, 39 PsA patients, a control group of 70 healty people were included in this study. Demographic characteristics, disease activity and functional status were recorded. Patients were referred for nerve conduction studies performed according to the American Academy of Neurology standards. Sonographic examination was carried on for MCSA evaluation. The mean age of patients was 51.87 ± 8.47, 50.61 ± 11.33, 49.75 ± 10.52 years and female ratio was 72.9%, 71.8%, 75.7% in RA, PsA and controls, respectively. Electrophysiologically, CTS frequency was found to be 13.2%, 15.4%, 3.5% in RA, PsA, control group, respectively, and a significant difference was found compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Ultrasonographically MCSA was measured as 8.52 ± 2.19 mm
