[Medium-term results of surgical treatment for osteitis of the clavicle].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimOsteitis of the clavicle is rare and not well described in the international literature. We describe a concept of surgical treatment with medium-term observations.
methodA total of 22 patients (12 women, 10 men; BMI Ø 24.6 kg/m(2), age Ø 48 years) with osteitis of the clavicle were included in the series. The treatment regime consisted of a surgical approach. Data collection was prospective. Data gathered preoperatively and at follow-up included clinical examination, laboratory findings, radiographs and the Constant scoring system. The mean follow-up period was 13.3 (3-53) months.
resultsThe described surgical concept was able to permanently eliminate infection in all cases studied. Surgical revisions were required in six patients. The average Constant score showed a significant increase from 66 to 84 at follow-up. Patients also showed good functional results after total resection of the clavicle.
conclusionThe reported treatment regime provides reliable results in terms of eliminating infection with good clinical results. Neighboring joints were frequently also involved in the infection and needed to be surgically addressed.
