[Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in hand surgery].
Article in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) acts as an acoustic wave via momentum transfer and mechanotransduction in a plethora of regenerative ways. Scaphoid non-unions benefit from high-energetic focused ESWT. In lunate necrosis aka Morbus Kienböck focused high-energetic ESWT can reduce pain and improve MRI. In CMC 1 osteoarthritis focused ESWT appears to be clinically equal to intraarticular ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injection with more pronounced effects 6 months after therapy in the ESWT group. Tendinopathies of the hand can be treated with both, radial and focused ESWT, especially in symptomatic trigger finger and de Quervain tendinopathy. In symptomatic painful Dupuytren disease, focused high-energetic ESWT can reduce pain and slow down progression of the disease.
