[Surgical treatment of the ulnar styloid process using an angle-stable hook plate in fractures and symptomatic nonunions].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveAnatomical reduction of dislocated fractures using an angle-stable hook plate. Surgical revision of symptomatic nonunions with the aim of bone regeneration. INDICATIONS: Dislocated fractures of the ulnar styloid process with involvement of the ulnar fovea. Combined fractures with instability of the distal radioulnar joint and symptomatic nonunions. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Undisplaced fractures of the ulnar styloid process and asymptomatic nonunions. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Dorsoradial access to the distal ulna between the 6th extensor tendon compartment and the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. Exposition of the fracture/nonunion. In case of nonunions, excision and freshening of the fracture ends. Reduction is carried out using the hooks of the plate, if necessary additional attachment of autologous cancellous bone in case of nonunions. Fixation of the plate over the gliding hole and subsequent filling of the angular stable screw holes. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Depending on the accompanying injury, immobilization in a forearm plaster splint for 1-2 weeks. Active movement exercises of the fingers from postoperative day 1, if necessary lymph drainage. After bone development, load build-up under ergotherapy guidance.
resultsBony healing was achieved in 100% of our cases. The surgical treatment of symptomatic nonunions as well as dislocated fractures of the ulnar styloid process using an angle-stable hook plate has proven to be successful.
