Chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm in a professional drummer: Case Report on the interest of botulinum toxin injection after surgery.

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
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a rare condition usually affecting the lower leg, but can also involve the upper arm. This exercise-induced pathology is considered an overuse injury characterized by increased pressure in a muscle compartment. Forearm CECS is mostly observed in sports requiring prolonged, repetitive and energetic gripping, but also in musicians. The main symptoms are ischemic pain, stiffness, reduced muscle strength and paresthesia. We report here the unique case of forearm CECS in a professional drummer, successfully treated with injection of botulinum toxin following a post-surgical recurrence. The multiple intramuscular pressure measurements of the forearm performed during a 2 years follow-up suggest the efficacy of toxin botulinum injections on stiffness, pain and functional limitation in a patient with upper limb CECS following post-surgical recurrence. Injection of botulinum toxin should therefore be considered in CECS.
