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

Complex fractures of the distal radius are articular lesions and comminuted at the level of the epiphysis and metaphysis. Their treatment is difficult and in most cases surgical. Of all the different osteosynthesis methods available, internal fixation with plate and screws is the most commonly used. In particular, angular stability plates are superior in terms of rigidity and stability to conventional volar and dorsal plates. DVR plate has these mechanical characteristics, and its low profile has reduced frictions with surrounding soft tissues. For these reasons, this device implanted through a single volar approach, can stabilize the majority of volarly and dorsally displaced unstable distal radius fractures. In this study, 48 patients, affected by complex fractures of the distal radius treated with DVR volar plates, were assessed by the Mayo modified wrist score, the Italian version of the disability of the arm, shoulder and hand. The satisfactory results observed confirm the efficacy of this device.
