Flexor tendon dysfunction due to a rare fracture of the proximal phalanx: A case report.
Article in JPRAS open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Flexor tendon entrapment in fractures of the proximal phalanx is a rare occurrence. This complication has only been reported in association with displaced epiphyseal and diaphyseal fractures. Here we describe a case of an unusual proximal phalangeal fracture pattern with functional hindrance of the flexor mechanism. A 34-year-old man presented with an absent flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) function of the ring finger 4 weeks after an injury. X-Ray Examination revealed a bony fragment on the radial volar aspect of the proximal phalanx. USS revealed an intact FDS and FDP tendons. Excision of the bony fragment with tenolysis led to restoration of function.
