Optimal Radial Head Prosthesis Sizing in Elbow Trauma: A Review of Anatomical Principles and Clinical Techniques.
Review in JBJS reviews, 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
» This review synthesizes current evidence and techniques for optimal spherical radial head arthroplasty, focusing on the importance of accurate prosthesis sizing to ensure a successful outcome. » Replication of the native radial head's diameter and height is important. Mismatch can lead to pain, stiffness, capitellar wear, altered joint kinematics, and accelerated arthritis. » For diameter, the minimal outer diameter of the reconstructed native head is the most reliable guide. If comminution prevents this, the capitellar width on computed tomography scans provides a strong correlative measurement. » For height, the prosthesis should align with the proximal edge of the lesser sigmoid notch. Intraoperatively, direct visualization or fluoroscopic assessment of the lateral ulnohumeral joint space is recommended to detect overlengthening. » Diagnosing postoperative sizing errors is challenging. A defined radiographic technique comparing the radial head/neck length with the contralateral elbow on 45° flexion views can help quantify overlengthening.
