Ulnocarpal Abutment Syndrome With Triquetrum Degeneration.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present the case of a 47-year-old patient with a congenital positive ulnar variance and elucidate its effects on nearby structures in relation to ulnocarpal abutment syndrome (UAS). While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helped to identify soft tissue changes in the wrist, the use of an arthrogram, in this case, allowed for a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of the ligaments and soft tissues. Image findings included a complex degenerative tear of the disc of the triangular fibrocartilage (TFCC), a degenerated triquetrum, and partial tears of the scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments. Mild dorsal angulation of the lunate was noted, representing dorsal intercalated segmental instability (DISI), suggesting scapholunate ligament injury. Palmar classification was utilized to classify the extent of the TFCC injury as Type IIE. This case shines a light on the presentation of UAS in a patient that was not the usual demographic affected by this pathology, as well as their UAS affecting the triquetrum rather than the more commonly associated lunate.
