Revision Interposition Arthroplasty with AlloDerm for Persistent Thumb Carpometacarpal Pain Following TightRope Suspensionplasty: A Case Report.

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
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis causes thumb pain and disability, often requiring surgery when conservative treatments fail. Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition remains a standard approach, but TightRope suspensionplasty offers a tendon-sparing alternative that allows early mobilization. This report discusses a 48-year-old police officer with advanced thumb CMC arthritis who underwent trapeziectomy with TightRope suspensionplasty. Although initially successful, she experienced ongoing pain during high-impact activities, especially when operating a firearm, which is essential for her job. The pain, occurring during thumb adduction and forceful loading, did not improve with conservative treatment. Revision surgery with AlloDerm and hardware removal was performed. Serial follow-up at 3, 6, and 12 months demonstrated progressive strength recovery and stable metacarpophalangeal alignment, with return to occupational duties with ergonomic modifications. This case highlights the potential of biologic interposition to manage load-related pain after suspensionplasty in high-demand individuals.
