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

Objectives: Total joint arthroplasty is a valid surgical option for end-stage CMC1 osteoarthritis (OA). Currently, there are two types of implants used: the conventional single mobility design, and the new generation dual mobility design. Promising results for the latter design have been reported but there is scant literature on comparing the two implants. The objectives of this study were to first, assess the safety of the implants regarding loosening, revision, and luxation and second, compare the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction of the two CMC1 implant designs. Study design: This retrospective study evaluated plain radiographs for complications. To compare the clinical outcomes, patients were matched based on follow-up, age, and gender. Clinical outcomes consisted of lateral pinch and Grip strength, Kapandji, VAS, QuickDASH, and Nelson scores. Results: An overall complication rate of 5.4% was observed and were all associated with the single mobility design. In contrast, the clinical outcomes were slightly superior in the single mobility design. Conclusion: This study demonstrates excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes following CMC1 arthroplasty, with a clear trend toward an increased dislocation risk in the single mobility design.
