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 incidence of Kienböck disease after a single wrist traumatic incident is rare but has been reported by several authors. Although most evidence consists of case reports and case series, two possible concerns have been suggested. First, a traumatic alteration of the wrist anatomy and measurements increase stresses on the lunate. These changes mostly follow fractures around the wrist and can be regarded as acquired risk factors that contribute to the development of Kienböck disease. Second, some wrist injuries may tear ligaments around the lunate and damage the accompanied blood vessels; so, compromising the circulation to the lunate. Surgeons should be aware of the development of Kienböck disease following a single wrist trauma to enable early diagnosis and management to improve outcomes.
