Inflammatory arthritis and the elbow surgeon.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The treatment of inflammatory arthritis with disease modifying drugs and biological agents had reduced the number of patients needing surgical treatment. Surgical treatment of patients with inflammatory arthritis is challenging not only due to the factors such as bone stock and status of soft tissue but also due to the comorbidities associated with inflammatory arthritis. Multidisciplinary approach to these patients is recommended to deal with the complex poly-articular involvement and systemic physiological impairment especially when planning surgery. This review will cover the key articular and peri-articular pathologies that can affect the elbow in inflammatory arthritis and discuss the treatment strategies available to the orthopaedic surgeon in their management. From surgical point of view, the rheumatoid elbow can be classified into 4 types: 1) classic soft tissue type with increased joint laxity, malalignment and instability; 2) osteoarthritic type with stiffness, hypertrophic joints (hypertrophic) and preserved alignment; 3) nodular type with subcutaneous nodules and enthesopathies but preserved jointly; 4) mutilans with bone and joint destruction. Surgical managements of the articular problem in each of the subtypes are discussed in this review. On the other hand, the seronegative arthritis such as psoarisis, gout and lupus seems to affect the peri-articular tissue of the elbow more than the joint itself and the disease specific management of the peri-articular soft tissue problems, such as enthesopathies and inflammatory nodules, are also outlined.
