DIAGNOSIS OF ACROMEGALY IN BILATERAL CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AND FOLLOW-UP WITH ULTRASONOGRAPHY: A CASE REPORT.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). 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
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a comorbid condition often seen in patients with acromegaly. It often causes neuropathy that is severe enough to require the patient to undergo median nerve release surgery multiple times. Excessive growth hormone secretion will cause end-organ damage in the patient and will manifest itself with different complaints. The degree of complaints will decrease with early diagnosis and treatment of acromegaly. This case highlights the natural course of CTS associated with acromegaly and the importance of questioning the etiology in CTS. When the primary disease is treated, the patient's functionality will improve.
