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

A male patient in his 50s presented with severe bilateral wrist pain caused by scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC). He did not wish to undergo a salvage treatment, and consecutively both affected scaphoids were replaced by 3D-modelled prostheses. 3 and 2 years postoperatively, the patient had significant pain reduction, good wrist function and grip strength. Final X-rays demonstrated no signs of dislocation of the implant or signs of periprosthetic arthritis. Studies have shown that once SLAC occurs, the treatment should consist of either a proximal row carpectomy or scaphoidectomy and four-corner fusion. In our case, despite collapse, replacement of the single affected bone by a 3D-modelled prosthesis led to good return of function.
