Scapholunate Dissociation due to an Atypical Biomechanical Mechanism in Arm Wrestling: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 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
Background: Scapholunate ligament injuries are not uncommon in hand surgery, but they are not described in the sport of arm wrestling. Case Presentation: The patient was a 28-year-old man who experienced wrist pain when he was about to lose an arm wrestling match. Since then, he has had persistent clicking in his right wrist, which was found to be due to scapholunate dissociation. The reason for scapholunate dissociation rather than a humeral shaft fracture in our patient may be a reduction in torque on the humerus due to forced elbow extension, which could be seen in a losing player at the end of the match. This position could concentrate the reaction force on the wrist rather than on the humerus. Conclusions: Arm wrestling should be recognized as a potential cause of scapholunate dissociation due to its atypical injury pattern, necessitating early diagnosis. Furthermore, the unique biomechanics of arm wrestling warrant attention in orthopedic and surgical literature.
