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

Due to the crucial role of the thumb for gripping, osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint leads to a substantial impairment of hand function. There are effective nonoperative and joint-preserving surgical treatment options for early stages of the disease. In advanced cases, after exploiting conservative treatment, carpometacarpal thumb arthrodesis or arthroplasty may be indicated in selected cases but trapeziectomy with or without interposition or suspension constitutes the gold standard surgical procedure. This reliably provides favorable results, irrespective of the technique, with pain relief, good physical function, excellent patient global assessment and low complication rates.
