[Dorsal plate arthrodesis of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveElimination of pain or instability by arthrodesis of the thumb joint in functional position by dorsal plateosteosynthesis. INDICATIONS: Painful primary or secondary arthrosis of the thumb, nonreconstructable ulnar, radial or palmar instability, posttraumatic dislocation, defect injuries, bone tumors in the region of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Local infection of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint area. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Dorsal approach to the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint, splitting of the extensor aponeurosis between the extensor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendon. Opening of the anterior capsule and separation of the collateral ligaments, open up the joint, narrow concave and convex joint surface resections, adjustment of the arthrodesis position in 10-20° flexion and K‑wire transfixation, dorsal plateosteosynthesis, fine adjustment of the flexion, axis and pronation position. Closure of the capsule and the periosteal gliding tissue over the plate, reconstruction of the extensor aponeurosis. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Splint for 3 weeks. Full load after 6-8 weeks.
resultsThe dorsal plate arthrodesis of the thumb MP joint is a reliable surgical method with very good functional results.
