Total Wrist Arthroplasty-A Systematic Review of the Outcome, and an Introduction of FreeMove-An Approach to Improve TWA.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The Swanson silicone prosthesis was one of the first devices to realize total wrist arthroplasty (TWA). It has been used regularly since the early 1960s. This systematic review of the literature evaluated the status quos of TWA. The present study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was made in Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library databases. The focus of the present study was on implant survivorship and related functional outcomes. Data from 2286 TWA (53 studies) were collected. Fifteen studies were included for the analysis of implant survivorship. Fifteen studies were included for the analysis of pain. Twenty-eight studies were included for the analysis of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score. Grip strength was tracked in 16 studies. The range of motion (RoM) was evaluated in 46 studies. For supination and pronation, 18 articles were available. Despite some methodological heterogeneities, TWA may be effective and safe in pain reduction and improving function and motion. There is still a range for a future improvement of the procedure.
