Retrospective study of superior anterior plate as a treatment for unstable (Neer type 2) distal clavicle fractures.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo analyze the sequelae of Neer type 2 distal end clavicle fractures treated with superior anterior locking plate.
methodsFrom June 2012 to February 2015 a study was conducted with 14 male patients; 12 with unilateral and two with bilateral distal clavicle fractures treated with superior anterior plate. They were evaluated at intervals, with mean follow up of 16 months (14-18 months). All patients were evaluated clinically by both the Oxford Shoulder Score and the QuickDASH score.
resultsUnion was seen in all fractures within 7-9 weeks (mean time: 8.2 weeks). All patients had good shoulder range-of-motion. The average Oxford Shoulder Score and QuickDASH score were 45.6 and 7.1, respectively. All patients returned to work within 3-4 months of the postoperative period.
conclusionDisplaced distal clavicle fractures treated with superior anterior plates accomplished superlative results in terms of bony union, with rarely any complications.
