1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Clavicular fractures are common, accounting for 4% of all adult fractures. However, simultaneous medial and lateral fractures occurring in the same clavicle (the so-called 'bipolar clavicle fracture') are rare. Treatment for this type of fracture is not well established. Herein, we report our experience of the operative management of a bipolar clavicle fracture using two anatomical locking plates. The patient was an 82-year-old woman who presented with left-sided clavicle pain after falling to the ground. Plain radiography revealed midshaft and distal clavicular fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed using two different plates, the VA-LCP anterior clavicle plate (DePuy Synthes, West Chester, PA, USA) for the midshaft fracture and the LCP superior anterior clavicle plate with lateral extension (DePuy Synthes) for the distal clavicle fracture. Bony union was achieved 4 months postoperatively without any complications. In conclusion, dual plating is an effective surgical procedure for treating bipolar clavicle fractures.
