Arthroplasty in Thumb (CMC Joint) Osteoarthritis: Avoiding Trapeziectomy.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 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 show the postoperative clinical results, including the patient-reported time to return to the activities of daily living (ADLs), the radiographic aspects, and the grip strength of total joint arthroplasty in patients with stage-III rizarthrosis. Methods: In the present single-center and prospective study, we analyzed total joint arthroplasty with an uncemented, metal-on-polyethylene prosthesis (Maia, Groupe Lepine). The inclusion criteria were patients with stage-III carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis, aged > 60 years, initially treated through non-surgical procedures. The exclusion criteria were patients presenting mental illness, alcohol abuse, rheumatological arthritis. Results: During the study period (from January 2018-October 2023), 34 patients met the patient selection criteria. Three eligible patients received a different implant, and two were simultaneously submitted to surgery in another joint (metacarpophalangeal joint with Z-deformity); these subjects were not included in the study. After 25.1 months of the surgery, grip strength was of 87.75% regarding the opposite side, the scores on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and on the short form of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire were of 1, and the range of motion was of 81% compared to the unaffected side. On the X-ray examination, initial metacarpal subsidence was observed in 100% of the patients. Complications were observed in 2 (6.9%) patients. Conclusion: The choice of total joint arthroplasty to treat active patients aged > 60 years with stage-III CMC joint arthritis preserves independence to perform ADLs and improves quality of life in the first 12 months of the procedure.
