The Outcome of Distal Radius Fractures with Concomitant Injuries Is Similar to those of Isolated Distal Radius Fractures Provided that an Arthroscopically Supported Treatment Is Performed.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. 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
backgroundConcomitant injuries of distal radius fractures (DRF) can have a fatal impact on the patients' outcome. However, wrist arthroscopy is a costly and complex procedure. It remains elusive whether patients benefit from an additional arthroscopy.
methodsPatients with a DRF who were treated arthroscopically were enrolled. Fifty-six wrists were evaluated regarding their function by self-assessment with the Munich Wrist Questionnaire (MWQ). Thirty-nine patients were examined for postoperative strength and motion. Concomitant injuries were detected.
resultsA total of 75% of the DRF were type C injuries (AO classification). Twenty-four cases (43%) were triangular fibrocartilaginous complex (TFCC) lesion, eight cases (14%) of scapholunate ligament (SL) injuries and seven cases (12%) were a combination of TFCC and SL ligament lesion. No difference in function could be detected between DRF with surgically addressed concomitant lesions and isolated DRF. Dorsalextension, palmarflexion and grip strength were significantly reduced in patients with DRF and concomitant injuries compared to the healthy wrist. However, patients with DRF and arthroscopically treated concomitant injuries had similar results to those suffering only from an isolated DRF.
conclusionThe increased occurrence of concomitant injuries is to be expected in intraarticular DRF. Patients with concomitant injuries benefit from an arthroscopically assisted fracture treatment and show similar results compared to isolated DRF.
