1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries are a common cause of ulnar-side wrist pain and may progress to persistent pain, instability of the distal radioulnar joint, and arthritis if left untreated. Diagnosis and management of these injuries requires a nuanced understanding of features pertinent to the clinical presentation, imaging, and arthroscopic findings for accurate management. Arthroscopic-assisted repair techniques have revolutionized surgical management, providing detailed visualization and facilitating the repair of TFCC injuries and associated pathologies with minimally invasive techniques. In this review, we discuss the anatomy of the TFCC, history and examination of ulnar-sided pathology, imaging findings, and classification schemes and review surgical techniques for the treatment of TFCC injuries. We also touch on pearls and pitfalls of the techniques, complications, and results of treatment.
