Evaluation of the Existing Electrophysiological Severity Classifications in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Article 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 13 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
Electrophysiological examination is important for the diagnosis and evaluation of nerve function in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Electrophysiological severity classifications of CTS using a nerve conduction study (NCS) have been reported, and there are many reports on the relationship between severity classifications and clinical symptoms. The existing electrophysiological severity classifications have several problems, such as cases that do not fit into a classification and unclear reasons for the boundary value. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) and distal motor latency (DML) and to evaluate whether the existing severity classification method is appropriate. We created a scatter diagram between SCV and DML for our NCSs and found a negative correlation between SCV and DML (correlation coefficient, -0.786). When we applied our NCSs to the existing classifications (Padua and Bland classifications), there were many unclassifiable cases (15.2%; Padua classification), and the number of Grade 3 cases was significantly higher than that of Grade 2 or 4 cases (Bland classification). Our large dataset revealed a strong negative correlation between SCV and DML, indicating that the existing severity classifications do not always accurately reflect the severity of the disease.
