Temporal Changes in Finger and Upper Limb Usage During Hospitalization After Distal Radius Fracture Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Recovery after distal radius fracture surgery is commonly evaluated using physical function measures; however, actual upper limb use in daily life may not be fully captured by these assessments. In this case report, a postoperative distal radius fracture patient was monitored during hospitalization using a ring-shaped wearable device to quantitatively assess finger and upper limb usage, together with patient-reported outcomes and physical function measures. Finger and upper limb usage ratios increased during the mid-postoperative period, accompanied by reductions in swelling and improvements in the Japanese version of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation scores, whereas improvements in range of motion and grip-related function occurred earlier in the postoperative course. This case describes the temporal relationship between physical function, symptoms, and objectively measured upper limb usage during hospitalization, and shows that changes in actual upper limb usage occurred concurrently with reductions in swelling and pain.
