Management of metacarpal fractures.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The metacarpal fractures are common fractures which are treated by orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons and hand surgeons equally. These are seen in young adults who have active life style. These have a major impact in life style of the patients if these are not treated adequately. The management of the fractures vary among surgeons to surgeons; two surgeons in the same centre can have a different treatment plan for a fracture. There are no standard guidelines for the treatment and it ranges from conservative management, Kirschner's wire (K-wires), plates and screws. This review article is about the management of metacarpal fractures where the commonly done procedures are reviewed.
