Risk Factors Associated With de Quervain Tenosynovitis in Postpartum Women.
Article in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDe Quervain (DQ) disease is caused by stenosis of the first dorsal compartment containing the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis. This condition affects women 6 times more than men and is also commonly reported in pregnant and lactating women. The natural course of the disease and associated risk factors are not well understood. In this study, we described the gestational risk factors associated with postpartum DQ.
methodsSixty-three postpartum women with DQ were included in final study population. Medical records were reviewed for patient characteristics, including age, comorbidities, and body mass index (BMI), and gestational information, including length of pregnancy, gestation number, single or twin birth, and weight at birth. Odds ratio (OR) for developing DQ tenosynovitis were calculated with the control group of 630 postpartum women without DQ who gave birth between 2012 and 2020 in the same district.
resultsLength of pregnancy (>40 weeks, OR = 5.81 [3.29-10.28]), first childbirth (OR = 2.23 [1.32-3.77]), and weight (BMI > 25, OR = 2.08 [1.14-3.81]) were all statistically significant risk factors associated with developing DQ. Number of fetuses > 1 (OR = 0.98 [0.29-3.33]) and birth weight more than 3.5 kg (OR = 0.60 [0.30-1.21]) were not associated with higher risk of DQ.
conclusionsGestational risk factors associated with developing postpartum DQ include first pregnancy and long pregnancy of more than 40 weeks. Interestingly, child's birthweight and number of fetuses, both factors that might increase load on the first dorsal compartment while holding the child, were not shown to increase the risk of postpartum DQ.
