Incidence of DeQuervain Tenosynovitis After Distal Radius Fractures.

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
backgroundThe incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing alongside an aging international demographic. Understanding the sequelae of these injuries is important for guiding treatment and counseling patients. One area of study is posttraumatic DeQuervain tenosynovitis following distal radius fracture. However, existing literature is limited to single-institution retrospective studies. A large, multicenter, database-driven study would more adequately represent the true incidence of posttraumatic DeQuervain tenosynovitis.
methodsThe TriNetX database was queried to determine the incidence of DeQuervain tenosynovitis after distal radius fractures. The 1-year odds of DeQuervain tenosynovitis was compared with that of the general population. Risk was stratified based on treatment modality. Odds ratios were calculated to assess statistical significance.
resultsA total of 481 399 nonoperative distal radius fractures and 71 424 operative distal radius fractures were included. Compared with the general population, patients with a previous distal radius fracture had increased odds ratios for developing DeQuervain tenosynovitis ranging from 7.4 to 14.5. Among nonoperative patients, 1540 (0.35%) developed DeQuervain tenosynovitis compared with 438 (0.69%) in the operative group. First dorsal compartment release was performed in 213 patients (0.04%) in the nonoperative cohort, compared with 121 patients (0.17%) in the operative cohort. Matched analyses demonstrated increased risk for both DeQuervain tenosynovitis and first dorsal compartment release in operatively treated patients versus nonoperatively treated patients, with odds ratios of 1.3 (95% confidence interval: 1.2-1.5) and 2.43 (1.72-3.41), respectively.
conclusionsPatients with nonoperative and operative distal radius fractures develop DeQuervain tenosynovitis at greater rates than the general population. Operative treatment for distal radius fractures confers a slightly greater risk of developing DeQuervain tenosynovitis within 1 year of injury or surgery.
