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

backgroundDouble crush syndrome (DCS) is a relatively rare nerve compression syndrome among peripheral nerve compression diseases. However, ulnar nerve double entrapment caused by peri-cubital tunnel ganglion cysts has been rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a case of a 54-year-old woman who experienced occasional pain, numbness and paralysis in her right half hand for 1 year. A B-ultrasound of the right elbow initially revealed cubital tunnel syndrome only. Further Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a ganglion cyst near the cubital tunnel. After evaluation, we performed open surgery to excise the cyst and incise the cubital tunnel, completely decompressing the ulnar nerve entrapment. Ulnar nerve anterior transposition was also performed simultaneously.

conclusionsThe patient was followed up for 1 month, and she experienced a complete recovery with no functional limitations. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
