Effects of postoperative hand therapy in patients with Dupuytren's disease : A prospective hyperspectral imaging study.
Article in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. 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
backgroundHyperspectral imaging enables noninvasive evaluation of the microcirculation, which affects wound healing. In patients with Dupuytren's disease the microcirculation should be improved in order to achieve good clinical results and reduce the risk of recurrence. The aim of the study was to evaluate the microcirculatory effectiveness of postoperative hand therapy in patients with Dupuytren's disease after partial fasciectomy.
methodsIn an inpatient hospital setting 35 patients with Dupuytren's disease were investigated before and after partial fasciectomy. Standardized hand therapy was performed after surgery. Its effects on superficial and deep oxygenation, tissue hemoglobin index and tissue water index were assessed using hyperspectral imaging at 3 regions of interest (ROI) within the first 2 postoperative days. For image evaluation, three ROIs were placed manually within the palm, the fingertip of the affected digit (fourth or fifth digit) and a fingertip of a control digit (unaffected, second digit of the same hand) using the vendor's software (Tivita
resultsSuperficial oxygenation increased 1 day after surgery and after hand therapy. The tissue water index decreased on the second postoperative day.
conclusionHyperspectral Imaging demonstrates that postoperative hand therapy effectively improves perfusion and oxygenation in the hands of patients with Dupuytren's disease and additionally reduces edema.
