Side-to-Side Metacarpal Fusion for Reconstruction of Bone Loss in the Radial Carpometacarpal Joints.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present a unique case of side-to-side metacarpal fusion for reconstruction after an isolated gunshot wound to the right hand of a 19-year-old woman. There was a traumatic segmental loss of the proximal right second metacarpal base with considerable comminution of the trapezium and trapezoid. Reconstructive options were limited because of the destruction of the distal carpus and carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Digital ray amputation was offered but deferred because of patient preference. The reconstruction was performed via metacarpal fusion of the second metacarpal remnant to the third metacarpal base, bypassing the previously destroyed second CMC joint. The fusion of the second and third metacarpals offers acceptable results when the radial CMC joints are traumatized with extensive bone loss.
