Technique of Carbon Dioxide Insufflation of the Wrist During Arthroscopic Bone-Grafting Procedures.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Chronic scaphoid fractures are conventionally treated with arthroscopic bone grafting. Traditional dry wrist arthroscopy avoids graft displacement caused by fluid irrigation but faces challenges such as obscured visibility from bleeding and limited operative space. This study introduces a carbon dioxide insufflation technique using pulsed gas perfusion at 5 kPa pressure and 10 mL/min flow rate. By replacing the dry environment, carbon dioxide insufflation dynamically clears intraoperative bleeding, stabilizes the visual field, and expands the joint cavity for improved instrument maneuverability. Preliminary outcomes demonstrate reduced procedural interruptions and enhanced graft compaction compared with dry arthroscopy, while avoiding the risks of graft displacement associated with fluid-based methods. This technique combines the stability of a dry surgical field with the advantages of gas-mediated visualization, offering a promising alternative for arthroscopic bone grafting.
