Neurodynamic techniques vs. desensitization maneuvers in the manual therapy management of moderate carpal tunnel syndrome among women: randomized clinical trial with 1-year follow-up.

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
Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical and electrophysiological effects of neurodynamic techniques vs. desensitization maneuvers in women with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Design: Randomized clinical trial. The study included 380 female participants with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, aged between 45 and 55 years, who were randomly assigned to a neurodynamic technique group or a desensitization maneuvers group. Neurodynamic techniques in one group and desensitization in the other group were conducted for 3 months. Outcome: Measures were nerve conduction, pain, symptom severity, and functional status using the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, and cylindrical and pincer grip strength before treatment and after 3 months of treatment. One-year follow-up for pain, symptom severity, and functional status using the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. Results: Both groups demonstrated significant within-group improvements in nerve conduction, pain, symptom severity, and functional status ( Conclusion: Both interventions were effective in women with moderate CTS; however, desensitization maneuvers demonstrated superior improvements in neurophysiological outcomes, pain, and function over 12 weeks, with sustained benefits at 1-year follow-up.
