1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBipolar clavicular fractures are extremely rare with no consensus on management. No previous cases of bipolar clavicular fracture on an ipsilateral reverse shoulder prosthesis have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 78y.o female patient with left bipolar clavicular fracture on ipsilateral reverse shoulder prosthesis, associated with multiple ribs fracture, that was treated with open reduction and internal fixation using k-wires and endobutton for the lateral part, while as the medial part was fixed with plate and screws.

conclusionsAny patient with a clavicle fracture, with a history of sequential forces to the clavicle, a bipolar injury should always be suspected. Attention should be given if any implants are present on the ipsilateral side of the injury, which could affect surgical planning and outcome.
