Intra-patient comparison of trapeziectomy with LRTI and dual mobility prosthesis for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis: a multicenter observational study.
Observational study in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThumb osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition that affects a large portion of the elderly population. Conservative treatments for this condition often fail, and a surgical solution is required. Many different surgical techniques have been described, but the current literature has not yet demonstrated the superiority of one over the others. In this study, we analyzed the clinical and radiological findings of a population of 26 patients who were operated on both hands but with different techniques.
methodsOne hand underwent trapeziectomy with suspension arthroplasty, while the other hand was operated on with a double mobility trapeziometacarpal prosthesis.
resultsOur findings show that, while on the long-term follow-up the two techniques are equally valid, in the short term, the hands that were operated on with the prosthesis had a faster recovery of strength and pain.
conclusionTherefore, we reckon that double mobility trapeziometacarpal prostheses are a better choice of treatment, especially for patients who require a faster recovery for work or leisure activities.
