Short-Term Follow-Up Treatment of Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint Osteoarthritis Through Total Arthroscopic Trapeziectomy with Suture-Button Suspensionplasty.
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: The surgical management of thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis is extensive, with numerous techniques describing both open and arthroscopic approaches. However, there is limited literature on the outcomes of arthroscopic trapeziectomy. Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of total arthroscopic trapeziectomy combined with suture-button suspensionplasty. The secondary objective is to assess patient satisfaction with the surgery. Materials and Methods: We evaluated a total of 42 patients (34 women) with a mean age of 62.34 years, all diagnosed with severe trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis according to Eaton's classification (grades III and IV). Measurements were taken preoperatively and more than 1 year postoperatively, including range of motion, Kapandji test, pinch strength (tip-to-tip and key pinch), and grip strength (Jamar). All patients completed the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) questionnaire and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Finally, patient satisfaction levels were recorded at 1 year postsurgery. Results: The mean preoperative DASH and VAS scores were 48.81 ± 17.97 and 7.2 ± 1.48, respectively, showing significant improvement to 7 ± 10.32 and 0.52 ± 1.50 at 1 year postoperatively ( Conclusion: Total arthroscopic trapeziectomy combined with suture-button suspensionplasty is an effective technique for improving pain and hand disability in patients with severe trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Type of Study/Level of Evidence: 2b therapeutic, individual cohort study.
