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

De Quervain's tenosynovitis (DQT) is described to be an attritional and degenerative process, triggered by stenosing inflammation of the tendon sheath in the first dorsal compartment of the wrist. Understanding and targeting the risk factors associated with DQT will help clinicians and patients to reduce its prevalence. This review aims to evaluate the current literature surrounding the risk factors which were divided into the anatomical, patient, and occupational factors associated with the condition. The two main anatomical variations associated with DQT are subcomparmentalization and multiple tendon slips of the abductor pollicus longus (APL) and extensor pollicus brevis (EPB) tendons. DQT is more common in females and is often noted in pregnancy and the postpartum period. When considering occupational factors, work-related activity has not been shown to be a direct cause of DQT, despite leading organisations supporting the converse.
