1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of three-dimentional (3D) printed personalized guide plate-assisted wrist arthroscopic repair for Palmer type ⅠB triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 20 patients with Palmer type ⅠB TFCC injuries admitted between January 2023 and March 2024 who met the selection criteria. Among them, 13 were male and 7 were female; ages ranged from 23 to 35 years, with a mean age of 30.3 years. All patients had a history of trauma, 12 cases involved falls and 8 cases involved sprains. All patients demonstrated a positive "piano key sign". MRI revealed deep ulnar-side tears of the TFCC. Conservative treatment for 6 weeks yielded poor or no clinical improvement. The interval from injury to surgery ranged from 2 to 9 months, with a mean of 5.0 months. Patients underwent wrist arthroscopic repair assisted by 3D printed personalized guide plate. Functional recovery was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, modified Mayo wrist score, and range of motion (ROM) measurements for wrist flexion-extension, ulnar-radial deviation, and pronation-supination. At last follow-up, MRI was performed to evaluate the healing of TFCC. Results: All 20 patients underwent successful surgery without complications such as vascular or nerve injury, fracture, incisional infection, or joint stiffness. All patients were followed up 9-18 months (mean, 12.4 months). At last follow-up, patients demonstrated significant improvements in VAS scores, modified Mayo wrist scores, wrist flexion-extension ROM, ulnar-radial deviation ROM, and pronation-supination ROM compared to preoperative levels ( Conclusion: 3D-printed personalized guide plate significantly improve outcomes in wrist arthroscopic TFCC repair for Palmer type ⅠB injuries. They enable high-quality suturing, facilitate anatomical reconstruction, and markedly enhance wrist function.
