A case report of thumb weakness misdiagnosed as radial neuroma and resulting in upper limb dysfunction 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
A 37-year-old female patient was misdiagnosed with radial neuroma due to thumb weakness. After surgery, the weakness of her upper limbs worsened over 4 months. The most obvious symptoms upon admission were drooping wrists and inability to straighten the five fingers. Electromyography showed left radial nerve injury. She was preliminarily diagnosed with radial neuritis. The patient was treated with ultrasound-assisted electroacupuncture for 6 months, and the muscle strength of the upper limbs increased significantly. This case suggests that ultrasound-guided localization and electroacupuncture therapy are the key methods in treating radial neuritis.
