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

Purpose: Distal radius fractures are associated with a high incidence of concomitant soft tissue injuries, including lesions of the triangular fibrocartilage complex and intercarpal ligaments. While advanced imaging has allowed for greater identification of such tears, discerning which lesions pose a functional consequence remains a challenge for the hand surgeon. A review and guideline for arthroscopic evaluation of suspected combined injuries is presented. Results: Arthroscopic evaluation of distal radius fractures provides several unique advantages in such instances. Articular reduction can be performed via direct visualization with improvement in step-off and gapping. Furthermore, ligamentous injuries and carpal alignment can be directly assessed and treated. Conclusions: Subtle features of combined ligamentous trauma may be overlooked in the presence of more obvious fracture patterns. Wrist arthroscopy allows not only for a gold-standard method of evaluating of these soft tissue injuries, but also a means of treatment.
