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

Crude forms of musculoskeletal surgery have been performed through history for the treatment of deformity, pain and the horrors of battle. In more modern times Muller is credited with the first synovectomy in rheumatoid arthritis in 1884, and a Synovectomy was first performed by Richard von Volkmann (1830-1889) for joint tuberculosis. Chemical synovectomy consisting of the intra-articular injection of various agents was popular for a while but is now largely discarded. Joint resection for sepsis and tuberculosis has been documented since the early 1800s, and also joint arthrodesis, and osteotomy. Modern arthroscopic techniques have added the utility of faster intra-joint inspection and treatment while reduced surgical time exposure and often applied with the use of limb regional anaesthetic nerve blocks, to avoid general anaesthetic. Joint arthroplasty has been developed since1800s, with the use of many artificial joint components. There have been many notable pioneers of this work who are documented in this text, among them Austin T. Moore (1899-1963), George McKee (1906-1991) and Sir John Charnley (1911-1982). The success of joint arthroplasty to the hip, knee, shoulder and other joints has resulted in life-changing benefit for hundreds of arthritis and injury sufferers.
