Intraoperative change in distal motor latency as a predictor for clinical outcome after mini-OCTR: a retrospective cohort study.

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
Introduction: Although mini-open carpal tunnel release (Mini-OCTR) proves to be a standard solution for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), precise prediction of recovery remains challenging. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of using intraoperative change in distal motor latency (DML) to predict clinical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on 52 primary CTS patients, who completed the questionnaires before Mini-OCTR, 1 day (1 day Post-op) and 6 months after Mini-OCTR (6 months Post-op). Latency recovery percent (LRP) was calculated to represent intraoperative change of DML after Mini-OCTR. Multivariate and simple logistic regression analyses were used to quantify the predictive value of LRP on postoperative outcomes. Results: The results of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) demonstrated that Mini-OCTR was an effective procedure in treating CTS generally with some of the patients experiencing significant improvement in sensory function at 1 day Post-op. Multivariate logistic regression analysis which involves demographic information, CTS-related medical history, electrodiagnostic test results, PROMs and LRP revealed that the prognostic model has high AUC and accuracy, and LRP is a significant predictor among all the involved variables. Simple logistic regression analysis identified an optimal LRP cut-off value of 0.11 for predicting sensory recovery at 1 day Post-op with high accuracy. Conclusion: This study introduces LRP as a practical biomarker that enables surgeons to predict immediate postoperative sensory improvement in Mini-OCTR patients, which can assist surgeons in setting short-term expectations and tailoring postoperative care for the patients.
