Acromioclavicular joint dislocations: incidence, injury profile, and patient characteristics from a prospective case series.
Article in JSES international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAcromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations are common but evidence regarding the epidemiology of these injuries is incomplete. This study aims to describe the incidence, injury mechanisms, distribution of classifications, risk factors, and patient characteristics for ACJ dislocations in a general population.
methodsInclusion was performed prospectively during a 4-year period with the following criteria; age 18-75 years, shoulder trauma within 2 weeks, a clinical suspicion of ACJ dislocation, and radiographs that excluded fracture. The injuries were classified according to the Rockwood system, and epidemiologic variables were obtained. Rockwood types 1-2 were defined as low-grade injuries and types 3-6 as high-grade. Age groups were defined with a young group (18-39 years), an intermediate group (40-59), and an old group (60-75).
resultsA total of 158 patients were included; 139 were male and the mean age was 39 years (range 18-74). There were 73 low-grade and 85 high-grade injuries. The incidence was 2.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.7-2.4] per 10,000 person-years, gradually decreasing with higher age, groupwise. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) for men vs. women was 7.6 (95% CI = 4.7-12.6) and IRR >1 was seen comparing younger age groups to older. Odds ratio calculations showed that risk factors for high-grade injury were older age and traffic accidents.
conclusionThe incidence of ACJ dislocations was 2.0 per 10,000 person-years in a general population. Male gender and younger age group were risk factors for injury, whereas the risk for high-grade injuries were greater in older patients and after traffic accidents.
