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

Tendon is a strong viscoelastic tissue, responsible for conducting force from muscle to bone. In the hand, flexor tendons course through fibro-osseous sheaths, composed of an intricate tenosynovium and fibrocartilaginous pulley system. After flexor tendon laceration, changes occur in tendon force transduction as well as vascularity, affecting tendon healing on a tissue and cellular level. Tendon healing occurs through intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms, which in combination with local anatomy, can predispose to adhesion formation. Understanding the relationship between microenvironmental cues and tendon healing on the cellular and tissue level will improve our knowledge and treatment of flexor tendon injuries.
