Carpal Tunnel Symptoms With Normal Nerve Conduction Study Findings in Patients With Bifid Median Nerve Treated With Ultrasound-Guided 5% Dextrose Hydrodissection: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The most common entrapment neuropathy is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which is caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and ultrasound were used to diagnose CTS but neither method is 100% accurate. The benefit of perineural dextrose injection has been supported in the literature. This article presents three cases with bifid median nerve (BMN) in whom median nerve entrapments were not detected with NCS, and symptom relief was provided with hydrodissection with 2 ml 5% dextrose.
