Concomitant Rupture of the Tendons of Extensor Pollicis Longus and Extensor Indicis Proprius Following Volar Plating for a Distal Radius Fracture.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present a case of a patient who sustained a distal radius fracture and underwent volar plate fixation. Despite initial non-operative management, subsequent corrective osteotomy was required due to malunion. Eighteen months later, the patient presented with an inability to extend the thumb, leading to a diagnosis of extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon rupture. During the planned EPL tendon transfer procedure, an unexpected rupture of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon was discovered. The EIP tendon was then utilized as an interposition graft between the musculotendinous junction of the extensor indicis muscle and the EPL tendon to restore the function of EPL. This case highlights the potential for multiple tendon ruptures following distal radius fracture treatment, even in the absence of overt clinical signs. It emphasizes the importance of thorough preoperative assessment and intraoperative vigilance to identify and address such complications.
