1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 elbow is one of the most complex joints of the human body. Bony, ligamentous and muscular constraints ensure elbow stability. During recent years elbow arthroscopy has become more and more popular resulting from technical and surgical innovations. The diagnostic and therapeutic elbow arthroscopy following traumatic elbow dislocation is the best example. Functional outcomes after elbow dislocation significantly depend on sufficient evaluation of elbow stability, possible accompanying soft tissue injuries and on the initiation of adequate therapy. Elbow arthroscopy after traumatic elbow dislocation allows visualization of ligament ruptures and cartilaginous lesions, the resection of loose bodies and flushing of the hemarthrosis. Moreover, elbow stability can be tested directly. Concerning therapy, elbow arthroscopy represents an additional diagnostic tool and an aid for possible surgical procedures. In this article the basic requirements and special techniques for elbow arthroscopy are described. Using the examples of an elbow dislocation and arthrofibrosis, arthroscopical standard views, arthroscopical stability test and arthroscopical arthrolysis are explained.
