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

The scapholunate complex is composed of the intrinsic scapholunate ligament and the surrounding extrinsic ligamentous system on the dorsal and volar sides of the wrist. In chronic severe but reducible scapholunate instability (European Wrist Arthroscopy Society stage 4) without arthritis, intrinsic as well as extrinsic ligamentous stabilization becomes highly insufficient and lax. A modification of existing arthroscopic volar capsuloligamentous repair techniques is presented to specifically tighten the volar intrinsic scapholunate ligament in combination with the volar extrinsic scapholunate ligaments, without bone tunnels, bone anchors, or tendon grafts. This technique may be a useful complement to a dorsal extrinsic capsuloligamentous plication in high-grade scapholunate instability.
