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

Background: Osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint is common. There are limited surgical options for patients who have undergone a failed primary trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective review of patients who received a porcine dermal graft for failed trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty. Three hundred fifty-five trapeziometacarpal procedures were performed from 2005 to 2015; 9 were revisions. Seven were performed with xenograft interposition. Data included primary procedure, grip and key pinch strength, Visual Analog Score (VAS), motion, time to return to work, Kapandji Score, and radiographs. Results: The mean follow-up was 84 weeks. The mean VAS score was 2.3, and all patients reported notable improvement. The mean Kapandji Score was 8. The mean grip was 20 kg, and the mean key pinch was 5 kg in the operated hand. The mean time to return to work was 12 weeks. The final radiographs showed improvement in spaces. No complications or immunological reactions were encountered. Conclusions: The authors describe a technique for revision trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty with a porcine xenograft acellular dermal matrix. This technique shows a safe and valid treatment option with acceptable clinical outcomes.
