Clinical Results of Arthroscopic Partial Trapeziectomy With Suture-Button Suspensionplasty for Thumb Carpometacarpal Arthritis.
Article in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThis study represents the clinical results, especially range of motion (ROM) improvement, of arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy with suture-button suspensionplasty for symptomatic grade II and III thumb carpometacarpal arthritis with a minimum 1-year follow-up.
methodsThirty-two patients (mean: 67.5 years) with grade II and III thumb carpometacarpal arthritis treated with arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy with suture-button suspensionplasty were retrospectively followed up for at least 1 year. The physical assessments included ROM, pain visual analogue scale (VAS), strength, and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. The physical variables were retrospectively compared before surgery and at the final follow-up.
resultsPreoperative radial abduction and palmar abduction (45.4 ± 16.4° and 54.3 ± 13.9°, respectively) were significantly increased at the final follow-up (59.7 ± 16.9° and 65.5 ± 14.2°, respectively). Preoperative VAS score, pinch strength, and DASH score (70.5 ± 14.0, 57.2 ± 24.8% and 36.8 ± 14.8, respectively) were also significantly improved at the final follow-up (7.9 ± 9.1, 91.0 ± 39.6%, and 11.7 ± 10.5, respectively). Complications involved 1 case of irritation of the superficial branch of the radial nerve and 1 case of dystonia. Two suture-buttons were removed due to patient discomfort.
conclusionsA significant increase in ROM and pain relief was obtained after suture-button suspensionplasty with arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy.
