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

A 70-year-old woman born and raised in India presented with Wassel type IV preaxial polydactyly of the right thumb and difficulty performing daily activities. She elected for surgical reconstruction after postponing the procedure for many years due to cultural norms. Her postoperative course was unremarkable. At her 3-month follow-up, she was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and underwent open carpal tunnel release. Preaxial polydactyly repair is unusual in patients older than 25 years. Though the duplication is considered lucky in South Asia, indications for this case were arthritic pain, cosmesis, and function. This case report details a unique indication for polydactyly reconstruction, arthritic pain, which may benefit hand surgeons when discussing the literature on adult polydactyly with their patients.
