Thumb-in-palm deformity in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita: A severity-based classification and structured surgical approach.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 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
Thumb-in-palm deformity significantly limits hand function in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), resulting from intricate interactions between contracted thumb-index web skin, restrictive intrinsic musculature, joint instability, and compromised extrinsic tendons, collectively causing thumb adduction, flexion, and poor opposition. Due to the complexity of this deformity, surgical outcomes have historically varied. We introduced a severity-based classification system-mild, moderate, or severe-to guide treatment decisions. Mild cases were addressed conservatively, moderate cases underwent single-stage reconstructive surgery, and severe deformities required two-stage procedures, sometimes addressing concurrent finger contractures. A preliminary clinical series involving 16 thumbs demonstrated promising results, with the majority achieving excellent functional outcomes as assessed by a modified Gilbert grading system. Minimal complications were noted. Our structured surgical strategy based on deformity severity enhances functional recovery, allowing tailored management and improved consistency of outcomes.
