Applying evidence in the care of patients with rheumatoid hand and wrist deformities.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The traditional approach in managing rheumatoid hand deformities is based on the individual surgeon's experiences. In the current era of evidence-based medicine, formulating treatment for the rheumatoid hand fits perfectly within the framework of evidence-based medicine by leveraging the best evidence from the literature, incorporating surgeons' experience and considering patients' preferences. In this Special Topic article, we use a case example to illustrate how evidence-based medicine can be practiced within the framework of treating rheumatoid hand deformities by distilling the best evidence from the literature to guide surgeons in a rational approach for treating this common condition.
