Isolated Acute Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Muscle.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2026. 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
Compartment syndrome encompasses a spectrum of disease. The most recognized subset of compartment syndrome is acute traumatic compartment syndrome, which is typically readily diagnosed by trained practitioners. A less-known type of compartment syndrome is acute exertional compartment syndrome, as the clinical presentation is secondary to heavy activity rather than trauma, can be isolated to a single muscle, and does not resolve with rest and supportive care. Acute exertional compartment syndrome is often complicated by a delay in diagnosis due to a lack of awareness on the subject. We present a case of acute exertional compartment syndrome of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle treated with isolated muscle fasciotomy with symptom resolution. Awareness of the diagnosis and treatment allows for improved patient outcomes.
