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

Thumb triplication is a very rare pattern of radial polydactyly that presents as a more complicated form of thumb. Because of its morphological complexity, treatment often requires surgical ingenuity in addition to the conventional surgical treatment algorithms for duplication. We report the case of thumb triplication on the right hand of a 17-month-old boy. We performed on-top-plasty of the ulnar thumb over the intermediate thumb, and achieved a functional and aesthetic thumb. The technique of on-top-plasty is effective for finger reconstruction that maximizes the use of limited tissue and is widely used for treating hand trauma and congenital hand anomalies. In the present case, on-top-plasty contributed most effectively to creating a sufficiently sized thumb, achieving interphalangeal optimization by joining the extra middle phalanx with the proximal phalanx, and securing the first web space by moving the ulnar thumb laterally.
