Fixing ulnar Styloid Fracture with Stable Distal Radioulnar Joint: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

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
backgroundThe association between ulnar styloid fracture and distal radius fracture is common while the necessity of ulnar styloid fixation is still controversial. We have aimed to elucidate the effect of ulnar styloid fracture fixation on final outcome of distal radius fracture treatment.
methodsIn a two-arm randomized clinical trial, patients with Fernandez type I distal radius fracture associated with ulnar styloid fracture in the base were divided into two groups of fixed (group A) and unfixed (group B) ulnar styloid fracture. They were followed up for 12 months using pain visual analogue scale (VAS), quick form of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score questionnaire, and Mayo performance score as well as wrist range of motion and grip strength evaluation.
resultsQuick DASH score was 35.4±14.0 in group A and 30.5±5.82 in group B (
conclusionAccording to our findings, ulnar styloid fixation using pin and wire have an adverse effect on distal radius fixation outcomes.
