Clavicle fractures: Associated trauma and morbidity.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundClavicle fractures are frequently associated with trauma to regions beyond the immediate zone of injury. In order to provide surgeons with information on injury prevalence to prevent delays in diagnosis and management, we describe the epidemiology of concomitant injuries in patients with clavicle fractures and identify differences between those with open and closed fractures. Methods:The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2001-2013 database was queried for adult patients discharged with a diagnosis of a clavicle fracture using ICD-9 codes. A "common" injury was defined as prevalence ≥4.0% in our study population. We analyzed data for injury locations associated with open vs. closed clavicle fractures with chi square and independent samples t-tests.
resultsA total of 41,1612 patients were included in our study population. The majority of patients had closed clavicle fractures (98.2%). The most common concomitant fracture was that of the rib, followed by the spine. The most common non-vascular, non-nervous injury was a hemo/pneumothorax followed by a lung, bronchus, or diaphragm injury. Fractures of the humerus, rib, scapula, pelvis, tibia or fibula, and facial bones as well as concussion, pneumo/hemothorax, other pulmonary, and splenic injuries were more common in patients with open clavicle fractures. Patients with open clavicle fractures were, on average, 11.8 years younger than those with closed fractures.
conclusionThere is a significant association between clavicle fractures and concussion, splenic, and thoracic injuries, as well as increased rate of complications with open fractures. Clinicians may use this information to perform risk assessments prevent delays in diagnosis.
