Recent Advances in Assessment and Treatment in Kienböck's Disease.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Kienböck's disease is a rare disease described as progressive avascular osteonecrosis of the lunate. The typical manifestations include a unilateral reduction in wrist motion with accompanying pain and swelling. Besides recent advances in treatment options, the etiology and pathophysiology of the disease remain poorly understood. Common risk factors include anatomical features including ulnar variance, differences in blood supply, increased intraosseous pressure along with direct trauma, and environmental influence. The staging of Kienböck's disease depends mainly on radiographic characteristics assessed according to the modified Lichtman scale. The selection of treatment options is often challenging, as radiographic features may not correspond directly to initial clinical symptoms and differ among age groups. At the earliest stages of Kienböck disease, the nonoperative, unloading management is generally preferred. Patients with negative ulnar variance are usually treated with radial shortening osteotomy. For patients with positive or neutral ulnar variance, a capitate shortening osteotomy is a recommended option. One of the most recent surgical techniques used in Stage III Kienböck cases is vascularized bone grafting. One of the most promising procedures is a vascularized, pedicled, scaphoid graft combined with partial radioscaphoid arthrodesis. This technique provides excellent pain management and prevents carpal collapse. In stage IV, salvage procedures including total wrist fusion or total wrist arthroplasty are often required.
