The Use of a Resurfacing Capitate Pyrocarbon Implant in Conjunction with a Proximal Row Carpectomy: A Systematic Review.
Article in Journal of wrist surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Degenerative wrist disease may have varying etiologies, but solutions to deal with this debilitating condition center around several common management pathways. Once nonoperative measures have been exhausted, generally there is a choice between motion sparing procedures or a total wrist arthrodesis. The appropriateness of motion sparing procedures will be dictated by the extent and pattern of degeneration, and midcarpal arthrosis is typically a contraindication to a proximal row carpectomy. One solution to this problem is to employ a Resurfacing Capitate Pyrocarbon Implant. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and effectiveness of this operation by systematically reviewing the literature. The findings of this review support the use of this implant in the setting of degenerative wrist disease, with reported outcomes comparable to similar operations. However, this is based on overall low numbers of reported outcomes with a reasonable chance of bias.
