Anatomy at Risk: An App for Evaluating Hand Lacerations and Planning Surgical Incisions.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Anatomy at Risk (AAR), a website and application, was developed to improve educational access and quality for medical and academic learners pertaining to the hand and wrist. It includes information on anatomy such as vessels, nerves, ligaments, musculature, and bones, as well as physical examinations to be performed by learners in order to help them diagnose injuries. Other resources are typically restricted to noninteractive media such as text-book diagrams and often lack the in-depth information required to gain a proper understanding of anatomy that often presents in the real world. The goal of this app was to provide a free, online, easy-to-access global resource for learning the anatomy of the hand and wrist. Methods: In 2024, 16 medical learners at a US Medical School trialed the beta version of the app during development via a talk-aloud session and survey to provide constructive feedback on the practicality, usability, and potential benefits of applying the app in practice or for education. Subsequently, a cohort of physician assistant students also trialed the released version of the app and answered the same survey. Results: The vast majority of learners in both groups responded and reported that the app had great educational value and commented on the ease-of-use, user interface, quality of videos, and detailed content. Initial critiques were associated with navigational issues and mobile use, which were addressed during development and not reported in the second trial. Conclusions: AAR seeks to provide an easy-to-use global resource for learning hand anatomy and examination. Medical learners believed it had educational value. It was a resource for learning anatomy diagnosing damaged structures and provided easy to find lists of structures and examinations pertaining to a local injury or elective incisions. Clinical relevance: AAR can aid users in locating anatomic structures at risk of injury and provide them with the key physical examinations to confirm their diagnoses.
