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

Little is known about tremors caused by peripheral nerve entrapment. We report two cases of tremors caused by peripheral nerve compressions. Two patients presented with intentional tremors combined with peripheral nerve compression symptoms on their affected hand. Based on the clinical findings and evaluations, the first patient was diagnosed with double-crush compression of the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel and Guyon canal, and the second patient was diagnosed with lacertus syndrome. The first patient underwent surgical release of the cubital tunnel and Guyon canal in two stages. The second patient underwent release of the lacertus fibrosus. At the 1-month follow-up after surgery, the tremors had completely resolved, and neurological symptoms improved. Peripheral nerve entrapment should be considered a potential cause of tremors in patients with tremors combined with symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Surgical release can be curative.
