Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon Rupture Following a Cat Bite: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report describes the first reported occurrence of extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon rupture caused by a cat bite. Animal bites, particularly from cats, can cause various complications, including damage to tendons and bones. In our case, a 43-year-old female suffered an EPL rupture in her dominant hand after being bitten by her cat. The patient underwent EPL reconstruction by means of extensor indicis proprius (EIP) using standard techniques, with a positive functional outcome reported. The case highlights the importance of considering the risk of tendon injuries following animal bites and prompt treatment to prevent permanent disability. This report calls for a high index of suspicion for tendon injury following animal bites, even if there are no signs of infection.
