Fingertip injury epidemiology, patterns, and clinical management at a tertiary care center, North Medical Tower Hospital, Saudi Arabia: A retrospective analysis.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Background: Fingertip injuries are a common yet significant subset of hand injuries, often resulting in functional impairment due to the intricate anatomy of the fingertip. These injuries can lead to substantial disability and financial burdens on healthcare systems. This study aims to analyze the epidemiology, injury patterns, and management strategies of fingertip injuries treated at North Medical Tower Hospital, Saudi Arabia, with the goal of informing clinical practice and prevention strategies. Materials and methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 105 patients treated for fingertip injuries at North Medical Tower Hospital, Saudi Arabia between January 2023 and September 2024. De-identified medical records were reviewed for demographic, clinical, and treatment data. Statistical analysis was performed. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic and clinical variables and to describe injury patterns and management strategies. Results: A total of 105 patients were included, comprising 77 males (73.3%) and 28 females (26.7%), accounting for 138 fingertip injuries. Amputations were the most frequent injury type ( Conclusion: Fingertip injuries, particularly amputations and fractures, are common across both pediatric and adult populations and are predominantly related to crush and door-related mechanisms. These findings highlight the need for targeted preventive strategies in domestic and industrial settings. Future prospective studies incorporating standardized functional, sensory, and patient-reported outcome measures are required to refine injury-specific, evidence-based management algorithms for fingertip injuries.
