Chronic Dislocation of the Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is a rare injury; chronic CMC dislocation can lead to significant disability. Traditionally, surgical intervention has focused on the reconstruction of the anterior oblique ligament, though more recently there has been more focus on the dorsoradial ligament. Consideration of both ligaments during CMC joint reconstruction is important to optimize functional outcomes. A 59-year-old male presented with a subacute/chronically dislocated CMC joint of the thumb. Open reduction with pin fixation and dorsoradial ligament repair and augmentation was chosen to restore the stability of the joint. Joint reduction without subluxation was successfully maintained. By 12 weeks postoperatively, there were no remaining major restrictions to activity. Repair of the dorsoradial ligament with augmentation and pinning is a viable approach for surgical management of subacute/chronic dislocation of the thumb CMC joint.
