Case report of a novel nonsyndromic unilateral syndactyly of the hand.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Syndactyly is a cutaneous and/or bony digital malformation with possible webbing of adjacent fingers or toes and uni- or bilateral occurrence. We report an 84-year old woman with a novel non-syndromic congenital malformation of her left hand. Clinical examination showed that she only had four digits. Radiograph of the hand revealed synostosis of the second and third proximal phalanx, resulting in a triangular shaped bone with relatively normal articulations at both ends. The phalangeal base of the fused finger tapers distally and is broader than the middle phalangeal bases of the ring and little finger. This malformation does not fit in any of the known types of syndromic or non-syndromic syndactylies. Our case report highlights that radiological imaging is crucial for identification of bony syndactyly and correct classification of a given syndactyly. Knowledge of the different types of syndactylies is important because certain malformations may occur as a defining part of a syndromic disease.
