Bone Injuries in the Hand and Forearm: Prevalence and Psychological Ramifications.
Article in Current health sciences journal. 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
Complex bone injuries in the hand and forearm pose considerable physical and psychological challenges to patients. However, there is limited research on the psychological effects of these injuries. This study seeks to clarify the psychological impact and frequency of injuries in various hand bones. This cross-sectional study included 166 patients with complex hand and forearm injuries. Injuries were classified based on amputations and fractures involving phalanges, fingers, and other bones. Psychological assessments utilised standardised tools to gauge post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) levels. Our findings suggest that injury rates differ among the phalanges and individual fingers. The intermediate phalanx (P2) of the thumb had the most injuries, while no injuries were found in the proximal phalanx (P1) of the small finger. Amputations and fractures were found to be positively associated with increased symptoms of PTSD. This study emphasises the importance of recognising the psychological effects of hand and forearm bone injuries. The data indicate the need for a multi-disciplinary treatment approach that includes psychological interventions for optimal patient care. The study emphasises the necessity for additional research to further investigate these matters.
