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

Pisiform and hamate coalition, a rare congenital anomaly, is most often identified as an asymptomatic incidental finding on radiographs. Some patients have symptomatic coalition with ulnar-sided wrist pain or ulnar nerve neuropathy from ulnar nerve compression. Sports activities such as cycling and weight lifting can cause compression of the ulnar nerve in the hand. This report describes a case of a pisiform and hamate coalition in a 36-year-old man who reported decreased right-hand dexterity and right ulnar-sided wrist pain. The patient, an amateur weight lifter, developed right claw hand through repeated bench press training. Intraoperative findings revealed compression of the deep palmar branch of the ulnar nerve between the tendinous arch of the hypothenar muscles and pisiform and hamate coalition. Surgical resection of the tendinous arch and the enlarged hook of hamate relieved the claw hand deformity.
