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
We present the long-time survival of 2997 primary metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint implants from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register from 1994 to 2019. Six different implants were compared in terms of survival and risk of revision. The majority of implants were inserted in patients diagnosed with inflammatory diseases and in women. The overall survival was found to be 94%, 89%, 85% and 84% after 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. The most prevalent reason for revision was a fractured prosthetic component, and the second was pain. Implants inserted in the right hand and in younger patients had a higher risk for revision. Sex, type of implant, finger treated, one- or two-component prosthesis, and inflammatory or non-inflammatory conditions did not influence the survival. The frequency of MCP joint implantations decreased during the observation period. Our data show satisfactory long-term survival of the MCP implants, with no difference found between implant types or concepts.
