1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Nerve hydrodissection uses fluid injection under pressure to selectively separate nerves from areas of suspected entrapment; this procedure is increasingly viewed as potentially useful in treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The usage of normal saline (NS), 5% dextrose water (D5W), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and hyaluronic acid (HA) as primary injectates for hydrodissection without an anesthetic can limit anesthetic-related toxicity and preserve the motor functions of the median nerve. Here, we describe a novel motor-sparing neural injection and compare the effect of these four injectates for severe CTS. We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of 61 severe CTS cases after a single neural injection with NS, D5W, PRP, or HA. Outcomes were evaluated on the 1
