RETURN TO WORK AFTER CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE SURGERY.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To clarify whether work-related factors influence the return to work after CTS surgery. Methods: Descriptive observational study that included 56 patients who underwent CTS surgery. The variables studied were profession, employment status, time off work after surgery, reason for returning to work, stress level, leave granted by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS), change in job function, and level of work effort. Results: The average time to return to work was 39.8 days (SD: 22.3). Self-employed individuals returned to work 6.5 days (SD: 22.3) earlier than salaried employees with a formal contract, who returned in 43.8 days (SD: 23.9; p=0.49). Most patients were on leave granted by the INSS, with an average of 47.8 days (SD: 23; p=0.003). Patients who had surgery on their left upper limb returned to work one week earlier than those who had surgery on their right (p=0.025). Conclusion: Coverage by INSS are associated with a delay of approximately two weeks in return to work compared to patients without this coverage.
