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

There is a wide variety of surgical techniques for first carpometacarpal arthritis described in the literature, but a wide range of complications has also been reported after these operations. We report a case of ganglion cyst formation causing snapping extensor pollicis longus tendon in a patient 3 months after trapeziectomy, ligament reconstruction, and tendon interposition for first carpometacarpal arthritis, which was successfully treated with simple cyst excision under wide-awake local anesthesia without a tourniquet. Adequate clearance of osteophytes and loose bodies, particularly around metacarpal bases, is required to avoid this complication.
