Interposition Arthroplasty versus Dual Cup Mobility Prosthesis in Treatment of Trapeziometacarpal Joint Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Randomized Study.
Trial report in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07569549 (BASTION - BASe of Thumb Osteoarthritis Management Non-inferiority Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is a common cause of pain and functional disability of the hand and is the second most frequent site in the hand of OA. This prospective randomized study analyses and compares the outcomes and global assessment of 2 different surgical techniques for rhizarthrosis treatment: trapeziectomy with tendon interposition arthroplasty and total joint replacement with Touch® (KeriMedical; Geneva, Switzerland) TMC prosthesis.
methodsThe enrolled patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A included 71 patients (75 hands) treated with tendon interposition arthroplasty, while group B included 65 patients (72 hands) treated with total joint replacement. Clinical and radiological outcomes were collected before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months of follow-up.
resultsAlthough the values of all clinical tests performed during follow-up demonstrated statistically significant improvement over preoperative ones in both groups, patients treated with prosthesis showed faster improvement, especially in tests of strength and range of motion, which showed better results than patients treated with trapeziectomy and tendon interposition arthroplasty throughout the follow-up.
conclusionsOur study suggests that joint replacement should be preferred to interposition arthroplasty as the treatment of rhizarthrosis, choosing the latter in case of prosthetic replacement complications or scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid OA.
