[Palmar approach for silicone interposition arthroplasty of the finger middle joint].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 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
objectiveThe implantation of a silicone endoprosthesis at the middle finger joint through a palmar approach without harming the sensitive extensor aponeurosis. INDICATIONS: In cases of significant, treatment-resistant, functionally limiting symptoms and significant restriction of motion due to radiologically confirmed joint destruction of the middle finger joint. CONTRAINDICATIONS: General surgical contraindications, markedly insufficient collateral ligament apparatus, axial malalignment in the coronal plane of more than 30°, absence of function in the flexor or extensor tendons, extensive osteolysis, contracted complex deformities. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Modified palmar skin incision according to the Bruner technique. Mobilization of the ulnar and radial neurovascular bundles. Dissect and mobilize an intact tendon sheath distal to the A2 annulus, taking care to preserve the flexor tendons. Synovialectomy of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. Exposure and Resection of the proximal phalangeal head. Debridement of the former joint cavity. Dissection of the middle and proximal phalanges. Insertion of a trial prosthesis and reduction of the joint. If this reveals a good fit with free mobility and sufficient lateral stability with a physiological finger axis, the definitive implant can be inserted. Reconstruction of the tendon sheath. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Fitting of a metacarpal brace, physiotherapist-guided mobilization, gradual increase in weight-bearing starting in the 7th postoperative week.
resultsFollow-up examinations of silicone prosthesis implantations via the palmar approach at the finger PIP joint demonstrated clinical outcomes that were at least comparable to those known from the dorsal approach.
