Salter-Harris Type 1 coracoid process fracture in a rugby playing adolescent.
Article in BJR case reports, 2018. 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
Fractures of the coracoid process are uncommon and when they do occur, are often mistaken for injuries to the acromi oclavicular joint. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy who sustained a Salter-Harris Type 1 fracture through his coracoid process alongside strain of the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments. Additional imaging, specifically MRI, was critical in both correctly identifying this injury as a coracoid process fracture and also in determining that conservative management was the best course of action. Optimum management of such injuries remains controversial, specifically with regards to skeletally immature patients. In our case, the injury was identified clearly on MRI and managed conservatively, with the patient making a full recovery and a return to contact rugby after 3 months.
