[Revision of failed resection arthroplasty of the CMC-1 joint using a costochondral graft].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo correct and prevent the proximalisation of the 1st ray by safe stabilisation using an autologous costochondral graft. Reduction of pain and maintaining good pinch and grip strength while preserving the important opposition of the thumb. INDICATIONS: Painful proximalisation of the 1st ray after failed trapeziectomy with contact between the base of the 1st metacarpal and the trapezoid or scaphoid. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Painful conditions following trapeziectomy for other causes. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is required. Extension of the previous incision and exposure of the sensitive radial branches and the radial artery. Longitudinal incision of the capsule and excision of the scar from the trapezium cavity. Dissection of the scar tissue directly around the metacarpal 1 base. After longitudinal resection of the oblique trapezoid surface, insertion of a suture anchor into the scaphoid joint surface close to the trapezoid. Removal of an approximately 2 cm long piece of rib cartilage from the middle costal arch. Insertion of the costochondral graft into the trapezium space and fixation with the suture anchor. Stable capsule closure. Suction drain. Skin suture. Thumb-forearm splint. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Postoperative immobilisation of the carpometacarpal (CMC)-1 joint for 4 weeks in medium abduction position. In case of uneventful wound healing also with a well-fitting orthosis. Afterwards independent movement exercises and exercises in warm water. Hand therapy only in case of difficult mobilisation at the earliest 2 months after surgery.
resultsFrom 2015-2018, 18 patients underwent surgery using this technique. The follow-up was at least 2 years after surgery. Of the 15 patients available for follow-up, 93% were classified as good and improved according to the Conolly-Rath score.
