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

A 67-year-old woman had a painless tumor in the pulp of her left little finger, which was diagnosed as a synovial cyst. She underwent 2 surgeries to remove the cyst; however, she had a third recurrence. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the cyst originated from the flexor tenosynovitis associated with degenerative arthritis of the distal radioulnar joint and pisotriquetral joint. We performed flexor tenosynovectomy and a salvage procedure for the degenerative wrist joint with a Sauve-Kapandji procedure for distal radioulnar joint osteoarthritis and pisiformectomy for pisotriquetral joint arthritis. One year after surgery, the synovial cyst had not recurred, and the functional outcomes of the wrist joint were good. Flexor tenosynovectomy and concurrent joint salvage procedure may be good treatment choices for synovial cysts originating from the flexor tenosynovitis associated with a degenerative wrist joint.
