Demographic and Socioeconomic Disparities in Congenital Hand Difference Surgery.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2026. 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
purpose of reviewThis article aims to identify and discuss the demographic and socioeconomic disparities that exist within the field of congenital hand difference surgery. RECENT
findingsCurrent literature is somewhat limited regarding disparities within congenital hand difference surgery given the rarity in clinical practice and availability of data. Individuals with congenital hand differences have reported decreased upper extremity functional scores when compared to their peers. Specific demographic backgrounds, geographic locations, and socioeconomic status have been associated with lower quality of life, psychosocial well-being, and functional outcome scores. The orthopaedic surgeon’s role as a healthcare team facilitator and communicator is of high importance during the care of these patients and their families. Gender, racial, and socioeconomic disparities exist within the field of congenital hand difference surgery. A deliberate cognizance of these inequities during the evaluation and management of individuals with congenital hand differences is necessary. Further research and efforts aimed at mitigating the negative functional and psychosocial impact caused by these disparities should be continued.
