Locked Intramedullary Total Wrist Arthrodesis: A Report of Three Patients With Distal Screw Migration.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Intramedullary (IM) fixation for the total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) is supposed to lower the hardware complication rate by eliminating soft tissue irritation. In this report, we present three patients with distal metacarpal screw migration requiring unplanned secondary surgery for screw removal in one patient while it was managed nonoperatively in the other two. All three patients had complete radiocarpal fusion by four months postop. There was no attempted third carpometacarpal (CMC) fusion in any of our patients. Screw migration was found between 1.5-3.5 months postop and remained stable until the final follow-up in the nonoperatively managed patients. One patient with screw removal continued to have mild tenderness over the third CMC, which was managed nonoperatively.
