Total Joint Arthroplasty of a Proximal Interphalangeal Joint with Proximal Metal Surface Replacement and Distal Hemi-Hamate Autograft: A Long-Term Follow-Up.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 28-year-old female recreational athlete presented with middle finger proximal interphalangeal joint pain, stiffness, and ulnar deviation deformity 2 years after internal fixation of a middle phalanx base fracture-dislocation. Radiographs revealed posttraumatic changes on both sides of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Having failed nonsurgical measures, she elected to proceed with surgical reconstruction. Intraoperatively, we confirmed substantial articular damage on both sides of the joint. We proceeded with hemi-hamate autograft for 80% of the middle phalanx base. We used a cobalt chrome proximal phalanx component. After healing, the patient returned to all daily-living and athletic activities with resolution of preoperative pain, stiffness, and deformity. Twelve years after surgey, she had no pain or substantial limitations because of the finger. We measured 80° of proximal interphalangeal joint motion. The grip and fingertip-pinch strength were 91% and 73%, respectively, of the contralateral dominant hand. Radiographs showed no progressive changes compared to 3 years after surgery.
