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

Scapholunate instability can result in debilitating pain, dysfunction, and secondary arthritis. Diagnosis is primarily based on a combination of clinical and radiological parameters. However, wrist arthroscopy is regarded as the gold standard for definitive confirmation to identify the extent of a scapholunate instability, with specific attention to the integrity of the extrinsic ligamentous system, which is probably more important than the intrinsic ligament. We discuss how to perform a step-by-step, comprehensive, and complete arthroscopic assessment of the entire scapholunate complex.
