Psychophysiological and Neurophysiological Correlates of Dropping Objects from Hands in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Article in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDropping objects from hands (DOH) is a common symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We evaluated the clinical, neurophysiological, and psychophysiological features of 120 CTS patients to elucidate the DOH pathophysiology. Forty-nine healthy controls were included.
methodsIn the patients, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questions (DN4), and a numeric rating scale for pain (NRS) were evaluated. In patients and controls, we evaluated bilateral median and ulnar motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, cutaneous silent period and cutaneomuscular reflexes (CMR) of the abductor pollicis brevis, cold-detection threshold (CDT) and heat-pain detection threshold (HPT) at the index, little finger, and dorsum of the hand, and vibratory detection threshold at the index and little finger by quantitative sensory testing.
resultsCTS with DOH had higher BCTQ, DN4 and NRS, lower median sensory action potential, longer CMR duration, lower CDT and higher HPT at all tested sites than controls and CTS without DOH. Predictive features for DOH were abnormal CDT and HPT at the right index and dorsum (OR: 3.88,
conclusionsThermal hypoesthesia in median and extra-median innervated territories and neuropathic pain are predictive of DOH in CTS.
