1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The integrity of the trapeziometacarpal joint (TMCJ) of the thumb is affected by the functional capacity of the ligaments involved in its construction to prevent its instability. Dislocations of the TMCJ generally appear as injuries accompanied by intra-articular fractures of the base of the first metacarpal or the trapezium. Isolated dorsolateral dislocations of the TMCJ are a very rare injury with an incidence of 1%. The optimal therapeutic procedure is crucial for restoring pinch and grasp strength, but in the international literature there is no consensus regarding the best management, since there is a lack of evidence showing the superiority of one treatment over another. The aim of this study was to describe two cases that were presented to the emergency department with a dorsolateral subluxation of the TMCJ and, based on these cases, to recall the modalities of adequate treatment for this injury which were reported in the literature.
