How a Gauze Sponge Roll Enhances Surgical Exposure in Thumb Carpometacarpal Arthroplasty: A Technical Note.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Thumb carpometacarpal arthroplasty has become a widely used standard technique in the surgical treatment of thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis. One of the most critical steps during this procedure is proper surgical exposure of the trapezium and the base of the first metacarpal to allow for prosthesis implantation. This article introduces a surgical technique in which a roll constructed from gauze sponges tightly wrapped with medical tape facilitates several steps in thumb carpometacarpal arthroplasty. While performing a dorsoradial approach to the thumb carpometacarpal joint, this cost-effective tool is perfectly tailored to the joint's unique anatomy. It aids in precise hand positioning and ensures optimal exposure of the trapezium and base of the first metacarpal, which is crucial for accurate cup and stem preparation as well as for unimpeded prosthesis implantation.
