CLINICAL RESULTS OF COLLAGENASE TREATMENT FOR DUPUYTREN'S DISEASE: A CASE SERIES STUDY WITH 2-YEARS FOLLOW-UP.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: This study aims to report our experience with Clostridium Histolyticum collagenase (CCH) to support the importance of its clinical use and assess its clinical efficacy, complications, and recurrences. Methods: This prospective observational study of 66 patients with a 2-year follow-up. Patients with an extension lag major of 20° at the metacarpophalangeal joint (MPJ) and/or proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) were included. We collected data on demographic and anamnestic details, MPJ and PIPJ contracture degrees, DASH score, complications, and recurrences. Results: The mean pre-injection contracture was 34° for MPJ and 31° for PIPJ. At the 2-year follow-up, the mean contracture for the MPJ and PIPJ were respectively 3° and 14.5°. The mean DASH score decreased from 21.8 before injection to 10,4 after 2 years. The disease recurrence occurred in 34.8% of the patients, all with PIPJ contracture. The main complication was skin breakage (25.7%). Conclusion: The CCH injections remain a consistent option in treating DD; withdrawal from the European market deprives surgeons and patients of low invasiveness and safe tool for treating DD.
