Congenital thumb differences- current concepts.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Anomalies of the thumb development are not uncommon and may be associated with a number of syndromes also. These anomalies range from total absence to duplication. Reconstructive surgery for the creation of an opposable thumb is the most rewarding aspect of Hand Surgery and also the most challenging. Classification systems have been modified for better description. A number of procedures have been introduced to improve the functionality of the hand in anomalies and age old concepts are undergoing a metamorphosis to further this. A brief description of the common conditions and their treatment are discussed here and highlighted by selected clinical cases.
