1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 flexor carpi radialis brevis (FCRB) is a rare abnormal muscle of the distal forearm or wrist. Its incidence varies in different reports, which oscillating between 2-8%. This paper reports a case of FCRB found in the anatomy of the forearm. The abnormal muscle, which started from the facies volaris distal radii, occupies the terminus of pronator quadratus, and was observed with dysplasia in the pronator quadratus. We also reviewed the literature on FCRB anatomy, especially the surgical exposure of distal radius fractures and the clinical symptoms caused by FCRB. Knowledge of the anomalous muscles of the forearm and wrist can highly improve clinician's understanding of the disease during surgery and imaging examination, and reduce unnecessary trauma caused by misdiagnosis.
