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

Isolated dislocation of the scaphoid bone is an extremely rare injury. If left untreated, results may be catastrophic. This paper presents a late complication of a neglected open scaphoid dislocation injury. A 63-year-old woman was admitted to the orthopedic outpatient department with symptoms of pain and restricted movement in her left wrist. Her medical history revealed a previous open injury to her left wrist approximately 45 years ago due to being trapped between a cart and a tree. X-ray and computed tomography showed volar dislocation of the scaphoid bone, collapse of the lunate bone, advanced arthritic changes, and cystic alterations in the lunocapitate joint. The decision on surgical treatment was made. Scaphoid excision and radiometacarpal fusion surgery were performed on her left wrist. Isolated scaphoid dislocations are rare injuries. Early recognition and treatment in the acute phase prevent severe complications and yield successful results. Advanced wrist arthritis can be observed in delayed cases. Radiometacarpal fusion is a successful treatment option for advanced cases with complete loss of motion.
