Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Caused by A Fibrolipomatous Hamartoma of the Median Nerve.
Article in BJR case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Fibrolipomatous hamartoma (FLH) of the nerve (also known as perineural lipoma, neural fibrolipoma, or lipomatosis of the nerve) is a well-known, rare benign lesion that can affect any peripheral nerve, resulting in significant enlargement of the involved nerve with fibrofatty infiltration. Although it is most commonly involving the median nerve, other peripheral nerves can be also involved. Being familiar with the pathognomonic characteristics on different imaging modalities and the association of this entity with macrodactyly help reach the diagnosis, avoid putting the patient at risk of an invasive procedure, and can guide management. We present to you a rare case of a FLH of the median nerve that was diagnosed on MRI of an adult female who presented with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and progressive swelling of the right hand and wrist.
