Staged Reconstruction for Dorsal Hand and Wrist Shear Injury: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Dorsal hand shear injuries present complex challenges for surgeons in addressing soft tissue coverage, extensor tendon injuries, and bone loss. This case study examines the inherent challenges associated with the treatment of a severe injury to the dorsum of the hand, as well as the selected treatment approach. Case Report: A 41-year-old male experienced a severe injury to the dorsum of his left hand following a road traffic accident. The injury involved skin loss from the wrist to the metacarpophalangeal joints, complete loss of the extensor digitorum communis tendons and extensor indicis proprius, significant bone loss in all metacarpal and carpal bones, and instability in the distal radioulnar joint. Multiple debridement and reconstruction surgeries were performed, leading to a satisfactory functional outcome. Conclusion: There are very few publications addressing complex dorsal hand injuries with follow-up lasting more than 10 years. This article addresses a complex dorsal hand injury and describes steps taken for management with long-term follow-up and acceptable functional outcome and patient satisfaction. A comprehensive understanding of the pathology and extent of the injury is crucial in developing an effective treatment plan for dorsal hand and wrist shearing injuries. Successful management depends on the knowledge and application of management principles and alternative approaches to address the diverse range of possible injuries involved to restore a functional hand.
