Unilateral Pushup-Induced Acute Median Neuritis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Acute median nerve neuropathy is most often due to trauma; acute carpal tunnel syndrome is considered a surgical emergency and must be ruled out. A right-hand dominant male presented to the emergency department with progressive unilateral pain and numbness in the median nerve distribution after experiencing a pop while doing pushups. The evaluation was limited to pain, but there was no gross deformity, and the distal right upper extremity was neurovascularly intact. All imaging was unremarkable. The patient received adequate pain control and complete resolution of symptoms. Despite presenting with symptoms congruent with possible carpal tunnel syndrome, the patient's physical exam and imaging findings were inconsistent with the diagnosis. Acute median nerve neuritis is less commonly described, and no cases have been reported secondary to push-ups, but it should be considered in nontraumatic patients. With conservative management, patients can have complete resolution and no reoccurrence of symptoms.
