Development of the Utrecht Score for clavicle fractures: a short and complete clavicle score with patient-reported and objective measures.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to develop a clavicle-specific questionnaire with patient-reported and objective measures.
methodsThe present study used data of DASH and Constant scores from a previously performed randomized-controlled trial comparing plate and intramedullary pin fixation of clavicle fractures. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify the most relevant items and the underlying structure of the questionnaires. To optimize the applicability to patients with a clavicle fracture, the selected items were reformulated. If relevant themes were underexposed, an additional question was added.
resultsBased on the scree plot of eigenvalues and the parallel analysis, a seven-factor model with good factorability was constructed. Using exploratory factor analysis, 13 patient-reported and 2 objective measurements were identified. The internal consistency of the selected questions was excellent. An additional question was added to cover complaints relating to direct pressure on the clavicle and implants.
conclusionThe Utrecht Score for clavicle fractures is a compact yet complete tool that was developed to assess functional outcome specifically in patients with a clavicle fracture, consisting of patient-reported and objective measures. After external validation, the USC can be used for research purposes or clinical follow-up during rehabilitation in patients with a clavicle fracture.
