Outcomes of an All-Arthroscopic Technique of Anatomical Repair of Complete Foveal Tears of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex.
Article in Journal of wrist surgery, 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: Foveal tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) present challenges for hand and wrist surgeons due to their impact on wrist stability and function. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a modified 3-portal all-arthroscopic technique using a bony anchor. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 19 consecutive TFCC tear repairs was conducted. Patients with ulnar-sided wrist pain and confirmed TFCC tears underwent surgery by a single surgeon. Clinical data, surgical techniques, and outcomes were analyzed. Results: The majority of patients experienced significant improvements in pain, grip strength, and range of motion following surgery. The technique showed improvements in pain relief (74% reported no pain), grip strength restoration (mean restoration of 93%), and range of motion(mean restoration of 97%). Utilizing the modified Mayo wrist score, 12 patients (63%) achieved excellent outcomes, 6 patients (32%) attained good outcomes, and 1 patient (5%) had satisfactory outcomes. Conclusion: This modified 3-portal arthroscopic TFCC repair technique using a bony anchor technique can effectively alleviate symptoms and improve wrist function in patients with TFCC tears. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
