Revision of Carpal Tunnel Surgery.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Carpal tunnel release is one of the most commonly performed upper extremity procedures. The majority of patients experience significant improvement or resolution of their symptoms. However, a small but important subset of patients will experience the failure of their initial surgery. These patients can be grouped into persistent, recurrent, and new symptom categories. The approach to these patients starts with a thorough clinical examination and is supplemented with electrodiagnostic studies. The step-wise surgical management of revision carpal tunnel surgery consists of the proximal exploration of the median nerve, Guyon's release with neurolysis, the rerelease of the transverse retinaculum, evaluation of the nerve injury, treatment of secondary sites of compression, and potential ancillary procedures. The approach and management of failed carpal tunnel release are reviewed in this article.
