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

Reconstruction of the interosseous membrane of the forearm has gained popularity over recent decades and several surgical techniques have been described to treat the longitudinal instability of the forearm after an Essex-Lopresti injury (ELI). We propose a synthetic reconstruction of the interosseous ligament (IOL) with double Arthrex FiberTape® and present data from cadaveric specimens used to test the reconstruction. After reconstruction, proximal migratory forces were applied to the radius to assess the radioulnar displacement at wrist level. Safety of the technique was also assessed by measuring the distance between the fixation system and the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN). These experiments provide preliminary biomechanical data to support further evaluation of this technique for potential clinical application.
