[Open reduction and screw/plate osteosynthesis of metacarpal fractures].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2019. 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
objectiveAnatomic reduction and stabile fixation for immediate mobilisation and restoration of unrestricted function. INDICATIONS: Instabile metacarpal fractures with or without malrotation, dislocated metacarpal fractures with malrotation or finger extension deficit, longitudinally shortened metacarpal fractures with finger extension deficit. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Persistent infections (empyema, osteomyelitis, phlegmon) SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Longitudinal intermetacarpal incision along the fracture zone, debridement of the fracture zone with retainment of periost, anatomic reduction and retention of spiral fractures with at least two lag screws or retention of comminuted or transverse fractures with locking plate osteosynthesis while retaining periost. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Buddy splinting of the corresponding finger to enable immediate mobilisation without weight bearing for 6 weeks.
resultsLocking plate osteosynthesis and compression screw osteosynthesis after anatomic reduction of metacarpal fractures proved to be very reliable with a low complication rate and a good functional outcome (modified Mayo Wrist Score [MMWS]: mean 88 (20-100); Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire: mean 41(24-86)).
