Treatment of distal radius fractures with locking plates: an update.
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Internal fixation with volar locking plates has revolutionized the treatment of distal radius fractures. Manufacturers have introduced plate designs that closely follow the anatomy of the distal radius. However, use of volar plates has also led to the emergence of new types of complications. While the use of monoaxial or polyaxial locking screws and of minimally invasive techniques (arthroscopy, preservation of pronator quadratus) increases the cost of the surgical procedure, it results in a tangible benefit for patients, allowing them to move their wrist almost immediately after surgery and to quickly regain their autonomy. We reviewed the literature to analyze the level of proof.
