Derkash's Classification and Vas Visual Analog Scale to Access the Long-Term Outcome of Neurothoracic Outlet Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

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: Many publications report outcomes of surgical treatment for neurothoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS); however, high-quality meta-analyses regarding objective evaluation system accessing the long-term outcome of NTOS are lacking. This meta-analysis summarizes and compares the outcomes of Derkosh's classification and vas visual analog scale of the supraclavicular neuroplastic of brachial plexus (SNBP) and trams auxiliary first rib resection (TFRR). Methods: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED) were searched for papers published between January 1980 and February 2021, using the keywords "thoracic outlet syndrome," "treatment, surgical." Articles were eligible for inclusion if the following criteria were met studies describing outcomes of surgery for NTOS, published in English, human studies, and available in full text. The exclusion criteria were case reports ( Results: We included 10 studies with 1,255 cases, out of which 622 were in the SNBP group; and 633 were in the TFRR group. After surgery (≥12 months), Derkash's classification was improved in 425 cases with SNBP and 364 cases with TFRR. OR = 1.34 (95% CI: 0.94, 1.92), Conclusion: This meta-analysis shows that both SNBP and TFRR are effective for NTOS, but that SNBP is better than TFRR in improving Derkash's classification in the long term. Although patients treated with SNBP are more satisfactory, there is no significant difference in vas visual analog scale from TFRR.
