1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the location of transverse carpal ligament (TCL) transection on the biomechanical property of the carpal arch structure. It was hypothesized that carpal tunnel release would lead to an increase of the carpal arch compliance (CAC) in a location-dependent manner. Methods: A pseudo-3D finite element model of the volar carpal arch at the distal carpal tunnel was used to simulate arch area change under different intratunnel pressures (0-72 mmHg) after TCL transection at different locations along the transverse direction of the TCL. Results: The CAC of the intact carpal arch was 0.092 mm Conclusion: The TCL transection in the radial region was biomechanically favorable in reducing carpal tunnel constraint for median nerve decompression.
