Incidence and Risk Factors for Revision Within 1 Year of Primary Carpal Tunnel Release.
Article in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2025. 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
backgroundThe annual volume of carpal tunnel release (CTR) in the United States has been estimated to be 577 000 per year. Our objectives were to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for revision CTR within 1 year of primary CTR.
methodsWe identified all adult patients undergoing primary CTR from October 2015 to September 2019 in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database using
resultsOf the 80 423 primary CTR procedures, 178 (0.22%) underwent a revision CTR within 1 year of the index surgery. The mean (SD) age of the entire cohort was 58.69 (14.43) years, 61.1% were women, 73.2% were non-Hispanic white, 42.9% were covered through private insurance, and 9.5% had diabetes mellitus. Workers' compensation insurance (odds ratio [OR] = 1.83, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-2.98,
conclusionsThe incidence of revision CTR within 1 year was lower than that previously reported. Patients covered by workers' compensation and those undergoing simultaneous bilateral CTR had higher likelihood of a revision CTR within 1 year, whereas endoscopic technique and surgeon volume were not associated with revision CTR within 1 year.
