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

This study presents a randomized controlled crossover experiment involving 73 patients with idiopathic bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Patients received two combined physiotherapeutic treatments: myofascial mobilization (IASTM) and stretching. Participants were divided into two groups: one started with stretching followed by IASTM, and the other with IASTM followed by stretching. Of these, 43 underwent surgery and began physical therapy 30 days post-operation, while 30 received non-surgical treatment. The therapy sessions lasted four weeks, followed by a crossover of the treatment modalities and periodic reassessments up to six months. The dataset includes experimental design, patient demographics, diagnostic data, objective muscle strength tests, subjective sensitivity tests, clinical indicators, and self-reported measures. This data can be useful for researchers looking to replicate the study or compare outcomes between clinical and surgical CTS patients.
