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

This report describes the case of a 61-year-old man reporting a painful subluxation and instability of the first metacarpal of the right hand after surgery for a multifragment fracture-subluxation of the thumb base. The fracture (considered irreducible) had been previously treated with K-wire stabilization of the trapeziometacarpal joint and subsequent removal of the K-wires at another clinical center. We advocate the use of trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty after the failure of open reduction internal fixation of the previous articular fracture, with successful results at follow-up.
