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

A healthy middle-aged man was treated for isolated scaphotrapeziotrapezoid joint osteoarthritis with implant arthroplasty using a Pyrocardan implant. We report implant breakage twice during tennis training, and the debut of squeaking after the first failure. The implant was revised and replaced both times. Revision of the implant resolved the squeaking. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a type of complication with this implant, indicating potential limitations for its future use.
