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

We would like to inform of an error in the reported incidences in our published article, Regional variation in low-value musculoskeletal surgery: a nationwide study from the Finnish Care Register. Specifically, the incidences for rotator cuff repair, partial meniscectomy, ankle arthroscopy, distal radius fracture fixation, and wrist arthroscopy surgeries were calculated using a too small population size. Accordingly, corrected calculations resulted in higher incidence values for these surgeries, impacting Table 3 and Figure 3, which now show accurate incidence rates. We have also updated Figure 6 and the corresponding sections of the results accordingly. These corrections did not affect any other figures or tables, not the overall conclusions, and the text in the discussion section remains unchanged. The correct data further emphasizes the findings in our original article. We apologize for any confusion caused by these errors and appreciate the opportunity to correct the publication.
