Quantitative Measurement of Rotation in Phalangeal Fracture Malunion Using Computed Tomography Imaging-"Linkage Simulation".

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
Malunion of thumb and finger fractures causes problems in the cosmetic and functional aspects of the hand. Malunion of phalangeal fractures usually manifests as a combination of rotational deformities in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes, and corrective osteotomy is performed on the planes that cause these problems. Quantification of the deformity is essential for precise osteotomy and is difficult to perform in the transverse plane, even with radiography or computed tomography. Thus, we developed a technique called linkage simulation for the quantitative measurement of rotational deformities for surgical planning. In this procedure, finger extension and flexion can be simulated based on the predicted rotational axis of the joint, which is useful for determining the appropriate correction. Furthermore, by performing a reduction simulation in the software, it is possible to simulate the surgery and predict the postoperative results. This paper reports the details of this technique.
