CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF THE UPPER LIMBS IN A UNIVERSITY CENTER: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objective: To identify the prevalence and characteristics of CAULs treated at a university center, aiming to improve epidemiological understanding and management of these conditions. Methods: Study carried out at the Hand Surgery and Microsurgery Service of Hospital São Paulo, UNIFESP, between January 2014 and February 2023. The sample included 296 patients diagnosed with CAULs, whose data were obtained from medical records. Information on sex, type of anomaly, age at first consultation, laterality, time until surgery, number of procedures and consultations were collected. Descriptive statistical analyses and association tests were performed, considering a significance level of 0.05. Results: It was observed that 61.15% of the patients were from São Paulo, with a higher prevalence of syndactyly (20.3%), followed by preaxial polydactyly (17.9%) and camptodactyly (11.5%). The majority (35.1%) presented bilateral involvement. Conservative treatment was used in 50% of the cases, while surgical intervention, often the only one (34.46%), was necessary in the others. Conclusion: This study provides an overview of CAULs, with findings that reinforce the predominance of anomalies such as syndactyly and the importance of individualized treatment strategies.
