Precontoured Locking Plate Treatment in Mid-Shaft Clavicle Fractures: Outcomes and Complications with a Minimun of 2- ears Follow up.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate functional outcome and complications with a long term follow up (minimum of 2 years post-operative) in patients with mid-shaft clavicle fractures treated with precontoured locking plates.
methodsWe included 41 patients. Goniometric measurement of shoulder range of motion (ROM) was performed, as well as functional evaluation using the rating scale shoulder of the University of California (UCLA), the Constant scale, score of disability of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) and visual analog scale (VAS). Postoperative complications, implants removal rates and new x-rays were analized.
resultsThe mean postoperative follow-up was 41.5 (24; 69. SD 13.4) months. Mean shoulder anterior elevation was 168.5º (120; 180. SD 22.9). The average value obtained for abduction was 175.2° (150; 180. SD 27.8), as to internal and external rotations, these were not affected. DASH 1.27% (0%; 25%. SD 4.3), UCLA 33.6 points (20; 35. SD 3.5), Constant 90.5 points (50; 100. SD 11.2) and VAS was 0 in 34 patients (83%). Complications: mild residual pain (3), hypoesthesia of the infraclavicular area (2), and rupture (1) and loosening (1) of the implant. hardware removal due to intolerance (2 cases) and new osteosynthesis due to acute implant rupture (1 case).
conclusionOur experience after a mean follow-up of 41.5 months with precontoured locking plates for the treatment of displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures has shown good functional results, with low complication and reoperation rate.
