Evaluation of the impact of continuous nursing and cluster nursing on carpal tunnel syndrome release surgery.
Trial report in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study aimed to estimate the influence of continuous and cluster nursing on carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) release surgery.
methodsNinety-six patients with CTS were treated in our hospital from November 2019 to December 2021. These patients were randomly divided into two groups of 48 patients. Both groups underwent open carpal tunnel release surgery. The control group received routine nursing care, while the study group received a combination of continuous and cluster nursing interventions. The Boston carpal tunnel question, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (DASH) and the Barthel index were used to compare hand function recovery, hand pain, sleep quality, and quality of life between the two groups before and 3 months after surgery.
resultsBoth groups experienced improvements in hand function and pain 3 months after surgery. However, the study group demonstrated lower scores in symptom and dysfunction, as well as lower VAS and NRS scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, both groups showed an increase in the Barthel and PSQI scores 3 months after surgery. Notably, the study group exhibited higher Barthel scores and lower PSQI scores than the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe use of continuous and cluster nursing in patients undergoing CTS release surgery proves to be advantageous in alleviating hand pain, facilitating hand function recovery, and effectively enhancing sleep quality and overall quality of life for patients.
