The plate fixation strategy of complex proximal humeral fractures.
Review in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
purposeFor complex proximal humeral fractures, severe displacement and comminuted fragments lead to poor clinical outcomes. Despite considerable management, the locking plate fixation is still a preference and the proper selection of its strategy for each individual seems to be essential.
methodThe available classification system of the fracture, determination of surgical intervention, the common complications and related causes, and the latest critical surgical strategies with locking plate fixation were discussed in this review.
resultsThe frequent complications with complex proximal humeral fractures after operative treatment present a great challenge to orthopedic surgeons. In order to maintain the stability of locking plate fixation, several options including calcar screw, bone graft, bone cement augmentation, dual plate fixation, and fracture impaction were available for restoration of medial support.
conclusionRestoration of medial support seems of importance to provide solid stability and reduced complication for the complex fractures with fixation of locking plates.
