Comparison of Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of Hook Plate and Continuous Loop Double Endobutton Fixations in Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation.

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
backgroundThis study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) fixation with hook plate (HP) and continuous loop double endobutton fixation (CLDE) in the treatment of acute ACJ dislocation.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted on eight patients with HP and nine patients with CLDE fixations for acute ACJ dislocations. The subjects were evaluated by various criteria, including disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment (ASES), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating scale, Shoulder Constant score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and coracoclavicular (CC) distance.
resultsThe differences between the mean scores of the visual analog scale for pain, DASH, ASES, UCLA shoulder rating scale, and Shoulder Constant, and SST were statistically significant in favor of the CLDE group. Mean difference of CC distance was 8.6±0.9 mm in the HP group; however, it was 11.6±1.2 mm in the CLDE group. The operation time was shorter in the HP fixation, compared to that in the CLDE fixation (51±13.3 versus 105±9.7 min;
conclusionThe CLDE fixation was reported with better clinical outcomes than HP fixation; however, it was a technically demanding procedure. The HP maintained the CC distance better than CLDE with a technically easy application. The HP requires a second surgery for the removal and development of subacromial erosion and osteoarthritis of the ACJ that can be regarded as major concerns.
