Use of a Mechanical Forearm Holder During Elbow Arthroscopy in Lateral Decubitus Position.

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
Proper patient positioning is a key consideration when performing elbow arthroscopy. The lateral decubitus position for arthroscopic management of a variety of elbow disorders has recently gained popularity among elbow surgeons. There are several advantages of the lateral decubitus position. However, the elbow rests in 90° of flexion with the hand hanging free, and an assistant is required to maintain any adjustment to the elbow's flexion angle. This article describes how a commercially available low-profile multi-articulated mechanical upper-limb holder may be used as a mechanical forearm holder in conjunction with a classic static arm support to provide stable positioning of the elbow in space during elbow arthroscopy. This technique simply and reproducibly provides an effective means to temporarily or permanently maintain the elbow joint in any desired degree of extension or flexion during elbow arthroscopy without the need for an assistant.
