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
Wrist pain is common among athletes, particularly weightlifters, who perform repetitive high-intensity movements like the snatch and clean and jerk. Conventional treatments, including NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and physical therapy, often provide only symptomatic relief. This case report highlights effective management of acute wrist pain in a competitive weightlifter using Tendon Traction Point (TTP)-focused dextrose injections. A 23-year-old weightlifter presented with wrist pain persisting for two weeks despite prior treatments. Tenosynovitis of the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendons was confirmed by ultrasound. After four injections of 5% dextrose into identified TTPs, the patient's Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score improved from 7 to 1. The treatment relieved pain and enabled the athlete to return to competition. This report demonstrates that TTP-focused dextrose injections offer a rapid, effective, and non-invasive solution for athletes with tendon overuse pain, presenting a promising alternative to traditional therapies and supporting functional recovery.
