Wartenberg's Syndrome: A Case of Ultrasound Revealing a Diagnosis Missed by Electromyography With Hydrodissection Offering Pain Relief and Functional Recovery.

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
Wartenberg's syndrome, an entrapment neuropathy of the superficial radial nerve, frequently presents significant diagnostic challenges, often with normal electroneuromyography findings despite debilitating clinical symptoms. This case report details a patient experiencing severe post-traumatic neuropathic pain highly consistent with Wartenberg's syndrome. High-resolution ultrasound proved pivotal in revealing focal nerve enlargement and confirming the diagnosis, which was missed by conventional electroneuromyography. Subsequent ultrasound-guided hydrodissection led to substantial and sustained pain relief and functional recovery. This case underscores the indispensable role of high-resolution ultrasound in diagnosing Wartenberg's syndrome when traditional electrophysiological studies are inconclusive and demonstrates the effectiveness of hydrodissection as a minimally invasive therapeutic solution for managing this challenging neuropathic pain.
