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

Kienböck's disease, also known as avascular necrosis of the lunate bone describes the slowly progressive osteonecrosis of the lunate bone with secondary development of osteoarthritis and carpal collapse. In order to emphasize the atraumatic origin of the disease, this is normally referred to as aseptic, idiopathic or avascular lunate necrosis. There are thought to be a number of factors predisposing to Kienböck's disease, such as ulnar negative variance, the shape of the lunate itself and various types of vascular anatomy. The ongoing development of radiographic techniques in recent years has contributed to a better understanding of the progression of the disease and led to a modification of the standard classifications. New sophisticated classification methods provide the basis for a differentiated treatment. This article provides an overview of the current state of knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis as well as the clinically relevant diagnostic procedures and classifications.
