Wrist Hemiarthroplasty for Complex Intraarticular Distal Radius Fracture in a Patient with Manifest Osteoporosis.
Article 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 4 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
Distal radius fracture (DRF) is one of the most common fractures of the elderly. The higher the degree of joint surface destruction, and the more adverse factors are involved, the more challenging proper treatment becomes. In this regard, osteoporosis as underlying systemic disease, chondropathy or degeneration of adjacent wrist bones as well as incompliance significantly impair the success of the chosen primary therapy. Wrist hemiarthroplasty has already been reported as primary or secondary procedure for DRFs. In this case report, we present a patient with a severely comminuted DRF including posttraumatic degeneration of the lunate as well as manifest osteoporosis. Wrist hemiarthroplasty using the ReMotion radius component in combination with proximal row carpectomy was performed as secondary surgery. This procedure proved to be a viable treatment option in terms of achieving low pain levels, high range of motion values and stable osteointegration over a course of 6.5 follow-up years.
