Evaluating the National Hand Trauma Center Network from 2010 to 2022: Digit and Thumb Replant Activity and Trends.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 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
Purpose: This study investigates the finger and thumb replant activity in the American Society for Surgery of the Hand/American College of Surgeons National Hand Trauma Center Network (NHTCN). Additionally, it evaluates trends in finger replantation and revision amputation by age, trends in replant success, and identifies demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with finger replantation. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the PearlDiver Mariner database, querying finger amputation diagnoses and subsequent replant and revision amputation surgeries with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth/Tenth and Current Procedural Terminology codes. Cases were stratified by age (0-17, 18-65, >65 years) and location, including states and metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) with NHTCN centers. Socioeconomic data were derived from US Census data. Replant success was defined as replantation without subsequent revision amputation. Results: A total of 30,732 revision amputations and 1,202 replants of amputated digits were included. From 2010 to 2022, replants decreased (β: -0.50, Conclusions: Digit replantation continued to decline nationally, particularly in ages <65. There was a wide discrepancy between a few highly active and many under-active centers in the NHTCN. The replantation rate was lower in states with more centers, reflecting a decentralization of replantable fingers in the setting of higher amputation volumes. Greater age and lower mean family income are associated with lower replantation rates. Level of evidence: Retrospective cohort study, level II.
