Effect of Acupotomy Combined with Electroacupuncture Therapy on Finger Mobility and Pain Relief in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Trial report in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To explore the effect of acupotomy in combination with electroacupuncture therapy on the finger mobility and pain relief in patients who had carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: The clinical data of 60 CTS patients in our hospital from November 2020 to November 2021 received retrospective analysis. With 30 cases in each group, they were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group. The control group underwent hot compress, oral medication, and local injection during hospitalization, while the treatment group received acupotomy and electroacupuncture therapy on top of the above treatments, and the clinical effects, finger mobility, and pain relief were compared between both groups. Results: The clinical indexes in the treatment group after treatment were remarkably better than those in the control group ( Conclusion: The quality of life and finger mobility of CTS sufferers can be improved with acupotomy in conjunction with electroacupuncture therapy. In-depth research will help build better procedures for these patients because this approach lessens the discomfort and shortens the symptom duration in CTS sufferers.
