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

objectiveRestoration of pain-free mobility of the trapeziometacarpal joint (TMJ) after a complicated course following arthoplasty through revision surgery with preservation of the prosthesis. INDICATIONS: Complications during or after implantation of a thumb carpometacarpal joint endoprosthesis, such as first metacarpal shaft fracture, cup malalignment, cup loosening, trapezium fracture, and impingement. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Insufficient bone stock and/or the presence of infection may argue against revision surgery with preservation of the prosthesis. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Various techniques are employed depending on the indication for revision, as outlined below. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: As with the primary operation, revision of the neck component usually requires only a short period of immobilization. Revision of the cup or stem may require a longer period of immobilization of up to 6 weeks, depending on the extent of the revision.

resultsIn our cohort, the postoperative outcome following the described revision procedures was comparable to that after primary thumb carpometacarpal arthroplasty without subsequent revision, with observed differences largely attributable to prolonged immobilization necessitated by revision of the components implanted in the bone.
