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

Carpal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy of median nerve in wrist presenting with symptoms like pain, numbness, and paresthesia in hand and lateral three fingers. Conservative treatments are effective for mild to moderate cases, whereas severe or refractory carpal tunnel syndrome may require surgical intervention. Hydrodissection, a technique involving the separation of the nerve from surrounding tissues, has emerged as a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome, leading to faster recovery and lower complication. In this case report, a 48 years female with two years history of severe pain and paresthesia in right hand, underwent ultrasound-guided hydrodissection of median nerve with 5% dextrose. Following intervention, the patient reported decreased symptoms and expressed satisfaction with the treatment during subsequent follow-up after 2 weeks. Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection of median nerve with 5% dextrose is effective treatment modality for patients with failed conservative management of carpal tunnel syndrome.
