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

backgroundIn this study, we retrospectively surveyed the presence or absence of pisiform subluxation in surgically treated distal radius fractures (DRF) cases. In addition, we investigated whether or not the postoperative short-term treatment outcome differs due to the presence of pisiform subluxation. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe subjects were 134 DRF patients treated with volar locking plate fixation (53 males and 81 females, mean age: 64 years old). The pisotriquetral joint was observed on a preoperative CT to investigate the presence or absence of pisiform subluxation according to the criteria reported by Vasilas. 134 patients divided into subluxation group and non-subluxation group, and the clinical outcomes were compared between these groups.

resultsPisiform subluxation was noted in 23.1% (31 patients, 15 males and 16 females, mean age 61 years). No significant difference was noted in patient background in both groups. The postoperative pronation angle in the non-subluxation group was significantly greater than that in the subluxation group, but there was no significant difference in any other parameter (the range of motion of the wrist, grip strengths, VAS, Q-DASH scores, and Mayo score) between these 2 groups. However it concomitantly occurred in 23.1% of DRF cases in our series, there was no significant difference in the postoperative treatment outcome between these 2 groups.

conclusionsTherapeutic intervention of pisiform subluxation is unnecessary during treatment of DRF, since pisiform subluxation does not affect the postoperative clinical outcomes of distal radius fractures.
