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: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical results of arthroscopic absorbable suture repair versus conservative treatment in the management of patients with Palmer type IIC central perforation of triangular fibrocartilage complex tears. Methods: Between September 2022 and February 2023, 50 patients with Palmer type IIC central perforation of triangular fibrocartilage complex tears at our hospital were retrospectively enrolled and included in this study, with a 1-year follow-up. Patients were classified into two groups for different treatment methods: 25 patients received conservative treatment and 25 patients received arthroscopic absorbable suture repair. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative arthroscopic findings, and postoperative complications were recorded. Outcome measures were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Modified Mayo Wrist Score (MMWS). Results: All patients completed the 1 year follow-up. In the conservative treatment group, the average VAS score was 3 ± 0.7 and the average MMWS was 83.3 ± 4.8. In the surgical group, the average VAS score was 2 ± 0.7 and the average MMWS was 85.1 ± 3.9. The two groups showed no statistically significant difference in MMWS values. On the other hand, statistically significant differences were demonstrated in VAS scores. Postoperative complications, including surgical site infection and wrist joint stiffness, were observed in four patients of the 25. Conclusion: There were no statistically significant differences in the clinical outcomes between the absorbable repair and conservative treatment groups. However, absorbable repair surgery could effectively alleviate patients' pain symptoms.
