Pyrocarbon Lunate Arthroplasty: An Option for the Young Patient with Advanced Kienbock Disease.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 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
Kienbock disease, or avascular necrosis of the lunate, is an uncommon cause of a painful and stiff wrist. Management options range from conservative treatment in the form of immobilization and corticosteroid injections to a wide variety of surgical treatments that depend on the structural integrity of the lunate, intercarpal relationships, and the condition of the articular cartilage of the wrist. A particularly difficult problem lies in the management of young patient in whom vascularized bone grafting of the lunate has failed but in whom arthritis has not yet developed. Pyrocarbon lunate implant arthroplasty is a newer treatment option for such a patient, and allows the preservation of the remainder of the proximal carpal row while directly addressing the degenerative lunate. This article describes the evidence and surgical technique for lunate implant arthroplasty and presents an illustrative case example.
