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

introductionHomodigital flexor digitorum superficialis transposition (HFT) is proposed as a new technique for A2-C1 pulley reconstruction. Flexor digitorum superficialis is transposed on the proximal phalanx and inserted on the pulley rims, crossing over flexor digitorum profundus and acting as a pulley. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe kinematic feasibility was investigated in a cadaveric bowstring model (after A2 and C1 pulley removal) on 22 fingers (thumb excluded).

resultsHFT was effective in restoring the correct flexion of proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, compared to bowstring model. No adverse events were registered.

conclusionHFT is a feasible technique. Clinical application is encouraged.
