Dupuytren Disease Surgical Treatment: A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Partial Fasciectomy by Bruner Approach Versus Zetaplasty.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDupuytren is a fibroproliferative pathology leading to contracture of the palmar fascia. Several approaches have been described for the surgical treatment with partial fasciectomy with few comparisons in literature. Our purpose is to compare the functional outcomes between the partial fasciectomy performed by Bruner type incision and zetaplasty incision.
methodsThe method used was a randomized clinical trial including adult patients of both sexes with surgical indication for Dupuytren disease presented to a reference center. Patients were randomly and consecutively allocated in the groups 1:1. We recorded the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score; range of motion for active and passive extension of the metacarpophalangeal (MP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints; visual analog scale for pain; and complications.
resultsIn all, 62 patients were included, with 48 patients reaching the minimum follow-up of 6 months with 63 operated fingers. In the Bruner approach group, we obtained a correction of the active and passive extension of the MP of 28° and of the PIP of 23°. In the zetaplasty group, correction of MP was 30° for active and passive, and 18° for active extension and 16° for passive extension of the PIP. The reduction in the DASH score was 10 points in the Bruner group and 22 points in the zetaplasty group. There was no statistically significant effect of the type of treatment on preoperative and postoperative differences in any of the parameters evaluated.
conclusionsThere were no statistically significant differences between the 2 techniques for self-reported functional outcomes or objective measures of physical examination.
