Arthroscopic Suture-Button Versus Hook-Plate Fixation for Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries-A Systematic Review of Comparative Studies.
Review in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeTo systematically review the comparative studies in the literature to compare joint stability, clinical outcomes, and complications of acromioclavicular joint fixation using a hook plate versus arthroscopic suture-button (SB) fixation.
methodsA literature search was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines to identify clinical studies comparing the hook plate and arthroscopic SB techniques for acromioclavicular joint injuries. Qualitative statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and a
resultsSix clinical studies including 285 patients were included in the systematic review. In 3 of the studies, there was a significant difference in favor of SB for Constant score. Patients treated with the SB technique had a lower visual analog scale score at final follow-up in 2 of the 4 studies that measured this outcome. In addition, there were no significant difference in the rate of complications, revisions, or joint malreduction in any of the included studies.
conclusionsThe arthroscopic SB procedure resulted in lower postoperative pain scores, and improved postoperative functional outcomes, although this was not a clinically significant difference. In addition, there were no significant differences in the rate of complications, revisions, or joint malreduction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, systematic review of Level I, II, and III studies.
