Lacertus Syndrome Diagnosis With the Orthogonal Kinesiotaping Test.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07404917 (The Effectiveness of Conservative Treatment With Added Kinesio Taping in Decreasing Pain and Improving Hand Function and Grip Strength Among Individuals With Lacertus Syndrome), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Lacertus syndrome is a dynamic compression of the median nerve at the elbow, diagnosed clinically using the Hagert triad and additional tests. The orthogonal kinesiotaping test, an evolution of the lacertus antagonist test, provides higher sensitivity (95%) and specificity (89%), enabling comprehensive upper limb assessment. This simple diagnostic tool improves patient understanding and supports both physiotherapeutic and surgical management strategies.
