Biomechanical Outcomes of Surgically Repaired TFCC Palmer Type 1B Tears: A Systematic Review of Cadaver Studies.

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
backgroundPalmer type 1B triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears are a common cause of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. Unfortunately, the best surgical technique for TFCC reinsertion is still unknown, and up to a quarter of patients report instability after repair. The purpose of this systematic review of cadaver studies was to compare the biomechanical outcomes of different surgical techniques used for Palmer 1B TFCC tears.
methodsA systemic review of all cadaver studies published before January 2022 was performed using the PubMed and EMBASE databases. Only cadaver studies on reinsertion techniques for Palmer type 1B lesions were included. Biochemical outcome parameters evaluated were stability of the DRUJ and strength of the repair.
resultsA total of 248 articles were identified. Five articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Four different surgical techniques were identified. In 3 studies, transosseous tunnel repair was tested and resulted in the most stable DRUJ and strongest TFCC repair compared with the suture anchor repair, the peripheral capsular repair, and the outside-in repair.
conclusionsThese results suggest that the transosseous tunnel repair might be a good technique for restoring DRUJ stability. However, more cadaver studies are needed to identify the most optimal technique.
