Pedicled Pronator Quadratus Transposition for Functional Opponensplasty: A Cadaveric Anatomical Study for Feasibility.

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
backgroundTechniques on opponensplasty for chronic carpal tunnel syndrome have been described previously. A novel pronator quadratus (PQ) transposition for chronic carpal tunnel syndrome is described. In addition, the relationship of the distal perforating branch of the radial artery to the surrounding tissue is detailed to optimize further use of the PQ flap for clinical applications.
methodsTen cadaver hands underwent PQ dissection, and the perforating branch of the radial artery was identified. Measurements were taken from the radiocarpal joint and the radial styloid to the distal perforating branch. Finally, a proposed surgical technique of PQ transposition with proximal radius periosteum to the first metacarpophalangeal joint and anterior interosseous nerve transfer was performed.
resultsThe average distance of the perforating branch from the radiocarpal joint was 10 ± 1.05 mm, and the average distance from the radial styloid was 17.1 ± 1.6 mm. Pronator quadratus transposed with a layer of radius periosteum demonstrated anatomical feasibility.
conclusionsThe distal perforating branch of the radial artery predictably perfuses the PQ muscle, which may be used in the future as a means of opponensplasty for chronic carpal tunnel syndrome.
