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

After a traumatic amputation, losing all or part of a finger can be detrimental to one's physical and mental health. Benefits from an esthetically pleasing prosthesis might be psychological, practical, and restorative. Prerequisites for an optimal finger prosthesis include helping the user grasp, absorb, and transfer forces to the hand; the prosthesis should also seem natural and allow for gesture expression. This case study describes how a 3D-printed joint emulator simulates natural joint mobility, significantly enhancing the patient's functional capacity to perform fundamental everyday tasks.
