Arthroscopic Treatment of Capitate Nonunion: A New Technique.
Article in Journal of wrist surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Isolated fractures of the capitate are very rare which means that their nonunion is even rarer. Repair techniques have always been performed by open surgery which may result in loss of mobility due to the capsulotomy. The typically used surgical techniques such as arthrodesis of the carpal or wrist bones can have irreversible consequences on range of motion. No arthroscopic technique has ever been described for this condition. Here, we describe a case of isolated capitate nonunion without ligament tears or other carpal fractures in a 21-year-old male, following a capitate fracture 10 years prior. We describe our arthroscopic treatment technique for this capitate nonunion.
