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

When severe proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint flexion contracture is induced in the little finger by Dupuytren's disease, it interferes with activities of daily living. To extend the little finger, open fasciectomy is selected as a general treatment method. However, postoperative complications have been frequently reported. To solve these problems, finger shortening was undertaken. In this study, we treated two cases of Dupuytren's disease manifesting severe PIP joint flexion contracture of the little finger with finger shortening by proximodistal interphalangeal (PDIP) fusion in which the middle phalanx is resected and the residual distal and proximal phalanges are fused. For flexion contracture of the MP joint, a percutaneous aponeurotomy using an 18G needle was performed to obtain the extended position of the MP joint. Favorable outcomes with high patient satisfaction, including esthetic aspects of retaining the finger with the nail without complication, were achieved. We report this challenging treatment and its discussion.
