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

The thumb is a crucial part of the hand, and traumatic thumb amputation is a devastating injury that significantly diminishes hand function. In situations in which replantation is not possible, great toe-to-thumb transfer is a well-established option for reconstruction. Although most studies describe excellent functional outcomes and patient satisfaction, there is a paucity of literature presenting long-term follow-up to determine whether these outcomes are maintained. In this case report, we present a case of great toe-to-thumb transfer performed 40 years ago and evaluate outcomes using validated questionnaires and standardized examination maneuvers. Our results highlight sustained patient satisfaction and excellent functional outcomes decades after the initial reconstruction.
