Long-Term Outcomes of Ultrasound-Guided Thread Carpal Tunnel Release and Its Clinical Effectiveness in Severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Ultrasound-guided thread carpal tunnel release (TCTR) was proposed as an effective and safe surgical technique with faster recovery and fewer complications. This study was conducted to confirm the long-term outcomes after TCTR and verify its clinical effectiveness in severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) for more insights into TCTR procedure. A total of 168 TCTR procedures were performed in 152 individual patients by two physiatrists during 36-month period. In an assessment of 82 hands, surgical outcomes of 2 years after TCTR could be obtained, and the grade 6 CTS group of 21 hands, classified as extremely severe grade by Bland's classification, was compared with other severity groups (grade 1-5). The Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) was used to assess surgical outcomes. No adverse events occurred in all cases including the case of severe CTS and anatomical variants. TCTR showed significant improvement in BCTQ scale within 1-2 weeks, which continued up to 2 years with no recurrence (
