[Revision surgery after resection arthroplasty of the CMC-1 joint using the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle tendon].
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, 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
objectiveResuspension of the first metacarpal bone using the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle tendon. Prevention of contact between the first metacarpal bone and adjacent bones (scaphoid, trapezoideum, second metacarpal bone). Preservation of motion. INDICATIONS: Pain after preceeding resectional arthroplasty due to proximalisation of the first ray. Radiologically demonstrated contact between the base of the first metacarpal bone and adjacent bones (scaphoid, trapezoideum, second metacarpal bone). Instability of the first ray at the site of the suspension. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Proven specific reasons: neuropathical complaints and dysaesthesia in the region supplied by the superficial branch of the radial nerve, tendinitis of the flexor carpi radialis tendon etc. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Distalisation of the first ray after mobilisation and debridement at the base of the first metacarpal bone with resection of scar tissue, Resection of the pre-existing tendon plasty and contouring the base of the first metacarpal bone with removal of osteophytes. Interposition of tendon material between the base of the first and second metacarpal bones. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Immobilisation in a forearm cast including the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint for 6 weeks.
resultsOf 21 patients treated using this procedure, 15 (13 women, 2 men, average age 59 (51-70) years) were evaluated retrospectively on average 4 (2-10) years postoperatively. Opposition of the thumb was nearly normal. Grip strength and strength of pinch grip did not differ significantly from the contralateral side. Pain at rest and exercise (evaluated by a visual analogue scale from 0-10) was postoperatively significantly reduced. On plain X‑rays the distance between the base of the first metacarpal bone and the distal scaphoid pole was significantly increased as a sign of a successful distalisation. Ultimately, 12 patients postoperatively returned to work, 10 to their original occupation. No patient required additional procedures.
