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

Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint instability may be caused by either joint trauma or systemic ligamentous laxity in a setting of connective tissue disorders. Bilateral CMC joint dislocation is extremely rare and has only been described in 2 cases, both resulting from high-energy mechanisms in adults. Here, we present a case of recurrent, bilateral CMC joint subluxation and dislocation resulting from low-energy mechanisms in a pediatric patient with no diagnosable connective tissue disorder. Over a course of 4 years, the patient underwent 10 procedures, including bilateral closed reduction and immobilization, bilateral closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, bilateral tightrope placement, and eventual bilateral tightrope revision with anterior oblique ligament reconstruction. To date, the optimal treatment options for bilateral, low-energy CMC dislocations have not been well described, and these depend on the time from injury to closed reduction as well as postreduction joint stability. Tightrope placement and ligamentous reconstruction may be required in a setting of long-term instability.
