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

introductionComplex scapula with ipsilateral clavicle fracures remains a challange and treatment recommendations are still missing.  This review provides an overview of the evolution of the definition, classification and treatment strategies for complex scapula and ipsilateral clavicle fractures. As with other rare conditions, consensus has not been reached on the most suitable management strategies to treat these patients. The aim of this review is twofold: to compile and summarize the currently available literature on this topic, and to recommend treatment approaches. MATERIALS AND

methodsIncluded in the review are the following topics: biomechanics of scapula and ipsilateral clavicle fractures, preoperative radiological evaluation, surgical treatment of the clavicle only, surgical treatment of both the clavicle and scapula, and nonsurgical treatment options.

resultsA decision-making algorithm is proposed for different treatment strategies based on pre-operative parameters, and an example of a case treated our institution is presented to illustrate use of the algorithm. DISCUSSION: The role of instability in complex scapula with ipsilateral clavicle fractures remains unclear. The question of stability is preoperatively less relevant than the question of whether the dislocated fragments lead to compromised shoulder function.
