Acute Clinical Effects of Dual-Task Resistance Exercise on Muscle Endurance and Pressure Sensitivity in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome After Surgery.
Trial report in Musculoskeletal care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05592184 (Dual Task During Resistance Training in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Release), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the acute effect of a self-regulated dual-task during resistance exercise on muscular endurance, pain intensity and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR).
methodsParticipants were randomly assigned to resistance exercise combined with a self-regulated cognitive task (dual-task) or resistance exercise alone (single-task). Exercise was prescribed using elastic resistance until task failure with a prespecified intensity of 3 on the Borg CR10 scale. The primary outcome measure was muscular endurance (maximum number of repetitions to failure) for wrist flexors and extensors. Secondary outcomes included pain intensity (visual analogue scale) and pressure sensitivity (PPT). Covariates included: catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, self-efficacy and perceived difficulty.
resultsTwenty-two participants (63.6% female) with a mean age of 47.8 ± 10.3 years. Participants performed a greater number of repetitions to failure under the dual-task condition compared with the single-task condition, with increases of 9.7 [95% CI: 5.7-13.8] repetitions for wrist flexion and 12.0 [95% CI: 7.7-16.2] repetitions for wrist extension. Pain intensity decreased in both conditions, with no significant condition or time × condition effects. PPTs increased following exercise at the unaffected hand and at the lateral epicondyle, whereas only a trend was observed at the affected hand. No significant time × condition interactions were identified for pain intensity or PPT. Catastrophizing and kinesiophobia were negatively associated with changes in PPT, whereas self-efficacy showed a positive association.
conclusionIn patients recovering from CTR surgery, dual-tasking as a cognitive distraction strategy acutely improved exercise capacity by increasing the number of repetitions to failure.
