Management of thumb carpometacarpal joint dislocations: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although rare, thumb Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint dislocations can have significant complications which impact hand function. Optimal management is crucial in restoring pinch and grasp strength, but no agreement exists regarding treatment due to a paucity of literature on this subject. Systematic review was conducted involving non-operative and operative management of the CMC joint. 15 articles with a total of 60 thumbs were evaluated from published literature. 12/60 thumbs with isolated CMC joint dislocations were treated with closed reduction, with 4 cases needing additional ligament repair due to joint instability post-reduction. 51/60 of the isolated CMC joint dislocations had ligament reconstruction, with flexor carpi radialis tendon autograft (29/51) as the most popular option. 60/60 patients regained full function and stability of the CMC joint with significant pain relief. Although good surgical outcomes have been achieved, long term clinical outcome reporting is needed to develop a standardized approach to treatment.
