Distal Intersection Syndrome Between Second and Third Dorsal Compartments of the Wrist.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Distal intersection syndrome (DIS) is a rare form of tenosynovitis affecting the second and third dorsal extensor compartments of the wrist, which is rarer and more distal than the classically described intersection syndrome between the first and second compartments. In this report, we present three cases of DIS, their inciting activities, and ensuing treatment courses. Diagnosis of DIS was confirmed via MRI in all cases. Treatment modalities consisted of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and varying durations of immobilization in all three patients, initially. One patient ultimately underwent surgical debridement and partial tenosynovectomy. At the end of follow-up, all patients saw a reduction in symptomatology with a return to baseline activity levels. This case report provides an overview of the possible clinical courses of DIS, as well as treatment strategies that can be implemented. Providers must maintain a high index of suspicion for this condition and treat patients with a great deal of caution, as extensor tendon rupture is possible.
