Kinesio Taping, Wrist Splinting, and Epicondylitis Bandaging in Managing Lateral Epicondylitis: A Prospective Comparative Study.
Trial report in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND We assessed the treatment outcomes of patients assigned by sequential randomization to 3 groups: epicondylitis bandaging, wrist dorsiflexion splinting, and kinesio taping. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-four patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study and randomly divided into 3 groups (n=18): epicondylitis bandage, wrist dorsiflexion splint, and kinesio tape. Patients were evaluated using a visual analog score (VAS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder (DASH) score, PRTEE (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation) score, and hand grip strength at baseline and at 3 and 6 weeks. RESULTS Lateral epicondylitis was diagnosed in the right elbow in 40 patients and the left elbow in 14 patients. Lateral epicondylitis was on the dominant side in 39 patients and on the opposite side in 15. When the VAS, PRTEE, DASH, and wrist grip strengths of the patients who used epicondylitis bandage, wrist dorsiflexion splint, and kinesio tape in the treatment were compared, no significant difference was found between the results before treatment and at 3 and 6 weeks after treatment. CONCLUSIONS We found no significant differences between conservative treatment of lateral epicondylitis via epicondylitis bandage, wrist dorsiflexion splint, and kinesio tape at baseline and at 3 and 6 weeks after treatment as assessed by VAS, DASH score, PRTEE score, and hand grip strength.
