Isolated Trapezoid Fracture in a Boxer.
Review in The American journal of case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND Trapezoid fractures are very uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all wrist fractures. Isolated fractures of this bone are even more rare, with just a few reports in the literature. The trapezoid bone has a very stable position within the wrist, forming a relatively immobile joint with the second metacarpal base distally. It is also connected by very strong ligaments to the trapezium, capitate and, scaphoid. Trapezoid fractures occur when a strong bending or axial force is applied to the second metacarpal base. CASE REPORT We present a clinical case of an isolated, non-displaced, trapezoid fracture in a young white male, which was treated with cast immobilization for 4 weeks and physical therapy. Complete functional recovery was achieved 3 months after the injury, without any pain or tenderness. CONCLUSIONS Fractures of the trapezoid bone usually have a good clinical outcome. Nonetheless, we need to be very suspicious about this diagnosis since radiography is apparently normal in almost all such cases and clinical examination results may not be entirely clear.
