Unplanned Reoperation After Trapeziometacarpal Arthroplasty: Rate, Reasons, and Risk Factors.
Article in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundTrapeziometacarpal (TMC) arthritis is an expected part of ageing to which most patients adapt well. Patients who do not adapt to TMC arthritis may be offered operative treatment. The factors associated with reoperation after TMC arthroplasty are incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of, the underlying reasons for, and the factors associated with unplanned reoperation after TMC arthroplasty.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we included all adult patients who had TMC arthroplasty for TMC arthritis at 1 of 3 large urban area hospitals between January 2000 and December 2009. Variables were inserted into a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to determine factors associated with unplanned reoperation, and the Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate and describe the probability of unplanned reoperation over time.
resultsAmong 458 TMC arthroplasties, 19 (4%) had an unplanned reoperation; 16 of 19 (84%) for persistent pain and two-thirds within the first year. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that unplanned reoperation was independently associated with younger age, surgeon inexperience, and index procedure type.
conclusionsSurgeons should be aware as well as patients should be informed that as many as 4% are offered or request a second surgery, usually for persistent pain and often within the 1-year window when additional improvement is anticipated.
