Differences between protocol and review

We did not search evidence‐based medicine reviews: ACP Journal Club or the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR).

The review authors assessed the quality of studies using the Cochrane 'Risk of bias' tool (Higgins 2011) rather than the earlier methodological quality assessment process described in the protocol.

At this update we added some comments on dealing with bilateral cases under 'Unit of analysis issues'.

At this update, secondary outcome measures of 'change in disability' and 'change in paresthesias' were included.

Finlayson 2011 was included for review as a double‐blind randomized control trial. The protocol stipulated that we would accept the author's diagnosis of TOS if attempts had been made to stratify the patients' diagnosis of TOS into the three sub‐types. This criterion could not be applied here; however, we felt this paper should be included due to the high quality of blinding, randomization, outcome measurement, and low risk of bias.

A Belzberg and M Dorsi, who authored the protocol and original version of the review, were not involved in the update. Instead SD Povlsen, who was not involved in authoring the protocol or original version of the review, was co‐author of the update.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).
