Detailed Anatomy and Reconstructive Approach of a Wassel VI Thumb Duplication.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Thumb duplication is a congenital hand difference that occurs in 0.08 of every 1000 live births and is categorized by level of duplication by the Wassel classification system. The anatomy and reconstruction of type VI thumb duplication is not well described, likely due to its rarity. In this report, we detail the anatomy and reconstruction of an ulnar-dominant Wassel VI thumb duplication, with particular attention paid to management of the first CMC joint and intrinsic muscle rebalancing of the preserved digit.
