Management of Failed Carpal and Cubital Tunnel Release: An Evidence-Based Guide to Success.
Review in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes are the most common compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity with surgical treatment having high success rates for both conditions. Although uncommon, persistent or recurrent carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome presents a challenge for patients and providers. Diagnosis of persistence versus recurrence of the pathology is key in establishing an appropriate treatment plan to provide the best possible patient outcomes. After an established diagnosis, a wide array of treatment options exist which varies based on previous procedures performed. This review discusses relevant anatomy, etiology, and clinical presentations of persistent and recurrent carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes. The range of treatment options is presented based on history and diagnostic findings. Treatment options span from revision of nerve decompression to the use of soft tissue rearrangement procedures. Some specific treatment options discussed include simple revision nerve decompression, external neurolysis, soft tissue rearrangement, such as the hypothenar fat flap or various transposition techniques, and the use of nerve wraps. Included is an evidence-based management guide for diagnosis and treatment of persistent versus recurrent carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes.
