Arthroscopic Volar Extrinsic Plicature of the Volar Extrinsic Ligaments for Chronic Volar Scapholunate Instability.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The scapholunate ligamentous complex consists of the scapholunate interosseous ligament and the surrounding extrinsic ligamentous system. In cases of chronic scapholunate instability, stabilizing the extrinsic ligaments is crucial. This article presents an arthroscopic capsuloligamentous reinforcement plicature that focuses on tightening the volar scapholunate extrinsic ligaments, namely the radioscaphocapitate ligament and long radiolunate ligament, along with indirect tightening of the volar scapholunate interosseous ligament. Although it may be challenging to differentiate the effect of the volar extrinsic plicature from a dorsal capsular reinforcement when both are applied, the volar extrinsic plicature can serve as a beneficial addition to dorsal capsular reinforcement techniques for complex scapholunate instability.
