Stabilization of the Distal Radioulnar Joint with or without Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tear by an External Wrist Band Brace: A Cadaveric Study.

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
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a watch-shaped external wrist band brace improves distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) stability. Seven fresh cadaveric arms were used. Using a customized testing system, volar and dorsal translation forces were applied to the radius externally while the ulna was fixed. The test was performed with the forearm in neutral, 60° pronated, and 60° supinated positions, once without the brace and once with the brace applied. In each condition, the amount of translation was measured. Then, the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) was detached from the ulnar styloid process and the fovea ulnaris, and the same tests were performed again. Detachment of the TFCC significantly increased volar and dorsal translations in all forearm rotations compared to the intact condition (p < 0.05), except for the pronated dorsal translation of the radius (p = 0.091). Brace application significantly reduced volar and dorsal translations in all forearm rotations both in intact specimens and in TFCC-detached specimens (p < 0.05), except for pronated volar and dorsal translations in TFCC-detached specimens (p = 0.101 and p = 0.131, respectively). With the brace applied, the TFCC-detached specimens showed no significant difference in volar or dorsal translation in all forearm rotations compared to the intact specimens (p > 0.05). The external wrist band brace improved DRUJ stability in both normal and TFCC-torn wrists and reduced the DRUJ instability caused by TFCC tear to a near-normal level.
