Does dorsal capsule interposition improve the results of proximal row carpectomy in Kienböck's disease? One year randomized trial.
Article in SICOT-J, 2015. 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
introductionProximal row carpectomy (PRC) is an option as a salvage procedure in late stage Kienböck's disease. In this study, we hypothesize that interposition of a dorsal capsular flap following PRC improves functional outcomes. No comparative study is available to assess whether interposition is effective from the functional perspective. This study aims to determine whether the addition of this procedure may improve functional outcomes at a one year assessment.
methodsThirty adult patients with IIIA and IIIB Lichtman stages, aged 18-54 years, were randomized into two study groups. Fourteen patients were allocated to the "no interposition group" and 16 to the "interposition" group. DASH questionnaire was used to evaluate quality of life. Cooney's system was used to assess pain, functional state, range of motion, and grip strength. Complications were also assessed. Final followup and clinical assessment occurred after 12 months.
resultsAfter 12 months and no patient losses, outcomes were similar in both groups. DASH scores (41.9 (7.5) vs. 42.9 (12.8), p = 0.79)), Cooney's system (poor results, 0.6 vs. 0.14, p = 0.54), and complications were similar between groups. In conclusion, the inclusion of a dorsal capsular flap does not improve functional outcomes in PRC. Low rates of complications were found in both groups.
