1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

rationaleCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common neuropathy worldwide. Although multiple factors contribute to CTS, persistent median artery (PMA)-related CTS is relatively uncommon. To date, no literature has reported the ultrasonic features of different types of PMA-induced CTS. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the clinical manifestations and ultrasonographic features of 3 patients with different types of CTS associated with PMA and review relevant literature. DIAGNOSES: All 3 cases were diagnosed with PMA combined with CTS, specifically categorized as CTS with PMA thrombosis, CTS with PMA and median nerve bifidity, and CTS with PMA and high bifurcation of the median nerve.

interventionsDifferent treatment measures were administered based on ultrasound diagnosis and clinical presentation, all with good prognoses. LESSONS: Ultrasound enables precise and rapid identification of various PMA-related types of CTS, effectively guiding clinicians in making the most patient-friendly treatment decisions.
