Sliding volar hinge osteotomy for correction of extra-articular distal radius malunion with excessive radial shortening.
Review in Journal of hand and microsurgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Distal Radius Malunion may occur with closed treatment and may result in various complications including stiffness and decrease in grip strength. Several techniques for correction of malunion have been devised and may broadly be classified into either hinge or distraction osteotomies. We present a "Volar Sliding Hinge Osteotomy" technique for correction of extra articular distal radius malunion, even with excessive radial shortening, without the use of distant bone grafts. The outcomes of three consecutive patients who underwent the procedure were also documented. Our technique may present as a good alternative to radial distraction or ulnar shortening osteotomies in correction of extra articular distal radius malunions with significant radial shortening. Level of evidence: IV.
