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

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the radioscaphoid joint is the most common type of wrist OA; involvement of the radiolunate (RL) joint is comparatively less frequent. A 56-year-old man presented with right wrist pain, with radiographic findings of ulnar-plus variance, increased palmar tilt, and a subtle ulnar head osteophyte. Despite 7 years of conservative treatment, progressive OA of the RL joint developed. The patient opted for surgical intervention to relieve pain and preserve motion. A closed-wedged extension osteotomy of the distal radius was performed. At 1 year and 3 months after surgery, he had pain-free wrist motion, confirmed bony union, and preserved RL joint space. Extension osteotomy of the distal radius may be a viable surgical option for OA of the RL joint caused by bone morphology changes leading to increased palmar tilt.
