Pathomechanics and Management of Secondary Complications Associated with Tendon Adhesions Following Flexor Tendon Repair in Zone II.
Review in Journal of hand and microsurgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Despite the number of rehabilitation strategies and guidelines developed to maximize the gliding amplitude of repaired tendons, secondary complications, such as decreased range of motion and stiffness associated with tendon adhesions, commonly arise. If left untreated, these early complications may lead to secondary pathomechanical changes resulting in fixed deformities and decreased function. Therefore, an appropriate treatment regimen must not only include strategies to maintain the integrity of the repaired tendon, but must also avoid secondary complications due to reduced gliding amplitude. This review presents a biomechanical analysis of the dynamics of tendon gliding following repair in zone II and rehabilitation strategies to minimize secondary complications related with tendon adhesions.
