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
backgroundDupuytren's contracture is characterized by the thickening of the palmar fascia. Although extensive literature exists on this disease, changes in lifestyle necessitate the re-evaluation of its epidemiology, etiology, and clinical features. This study aims to revise the current characteristics of Dupuytren's contracture and to explore potential relationships between these characteristics and recurrence.
methodsPatients who underwent surgery for Dupuytren's contracture between January 2014 and December 2016 were included in this study. Electronic health records were reviewed to collect data on gender, age at surgery, age at the first signs of the disease, dominant hand, profession, cigarette and alcohol consumption, comorbidities and their treatments, the affected hand and digit, operative technique, type of anesthesia, degree of joint contracture severity, and presence of recurrence. Patients with and without recurrence were compared.
resultsA total of 69 patients were included (60 males, nine females) with a mean age of 68.4 years (range: 51-90 years). Unilateral hand involvement was significantly more common. Recurrence occurred in seven patients (six males, one female). Comparison between patients with and without recurrence revealed that involvement of the first ray was significantly associated with recurrence. Partial palmar fasciectomy was the most commonly performed surgical procedure for recurrence treatment. No other significant differences were observed between the groups. The initial contracture angles of the metacarpophalangeal joints were higher compared to those observed in recurrence, whereas the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints were similar.
conclusionNo new recurrence-independent epidemiological, etiological, or clinical factors were identified for Dupuytren's contracture. However, first ray involvement was significantly associated with recurrence. Partial palmar fasciectomy was the primary surgical approach for treating recurrence. Metacarpophalangeal recurrence was less severe than the initial disease, while proximal and distal interphalangeal recurrences were similar in severity.
