Current Surgical Trends in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Article in Archives of plastic surgery, 2026. 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
This review highlights current surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), the most common compressive neuropathy of the upper extremity. Open, mini-open, endoscopic, and emerging minimally invasive techniques are compared in terms of outcomes, complications, pillar pain, and reoperation rates. Surgical indications, anatomical considerations, and management of recalcitrant CTS-including recurrent, persistent, and new-onset symptoms-are discussed. Adjunct procedures such as opponensplasty and flexor synovectomy are reviewed, with emphasis on patient selection, individualized decision-making, and the importance of thorough anatomical knowledge to ensure safe adoption of novel techniques.
