Fig. 3Forest plot of the standard pair-wise meta-analysis for clinical response of local corticosteroid injections for carpal tunnel syndrome. Abbreviations: OR = odds ratio, CI= confidence interval, DI = distal approach corticosteroid injection, PI = proximal approach corticosteroid injection, Ulnar-I = ultrasound-guided in-plane approach
Fig. 4Forest plot of the standard pair-wise meta-analysis for change in symptom severity scale of local corticosteroid injections for carpal tunnel syndrome. Abbreviations: WMD = weighted mean difference, CI= confidence interval, PI = proximal approach corticosteroid injection, Ulnar-I = ultrasound-guided in-plane injection, Ulnar-O = ultrasound-guided out-plane injection
Fig. 5Forest plot of the standard pair-wise meta-analysis for change in functional status scale of local corticosteroid injections for carpal tunnel syndrome. Abbreviations: WMD = weighted mean difference, CI= confidence interval, PI = proximal approach corticosteroid injection, Ulnar-I = ultrasound-guided in-plane injection, Ulnar-O = ultrasound-guided out-plane injection
