Early Results of All-Dorsal Arthroscopic Scapholunate Ligamentoplasty.
Article in Journal of wrist surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: We report early outcomes of all-dorsal arthroscopic scapholunate ligamentoplasty (ADAL) in 12 patients. Materials and Methods: Dorsal internal brace and capsulodesis were performed in all patients. In half of the patients, a palmaris gracilis tendon graft was used to reconstruct the dorsal aspect of the scapholunate complex. Patients were evaluated for pain, wrist range of motion, grip strength, clinical scores, and radiological appearance at a mean follow-up of 15.9 months. Results: We obtained similar results in the technique with and without tendon graft. Visual analog scale (VAS 10) score improved from 6 to 1. Wrist range of motion in Flexion-extension increased from 123 to 144 degrees. Postoperative grip strength was 180% more than preoperative, with a mean Mayo wrist score of 79.5 and quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (quickDASH) of 14.9. The radiolunate angle decreased from 29 to 10 degrees, the scapholunate (SL) angle from 83 to 52 degrees, and the scapholunate gap from 6 to 3mm. Conclusion: ADAL has many advantages compared with other scapholunate ligamentoplasties, including minimal invasiveness, association with internal brace and dorsal capsulodesis, and lower risk of carpal fracture or avascular necrosis. Its short-term results are promising.
