Skin Tenting in Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures.

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 objectives of this study were to (1) identify factors associated with skin tenting in displaced midshaft clavicle fractures and (2) analyze individual surgeon variation in this diagnosis.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed at two Level I trauma centers of 396 patients with displaced midshaft clavicle fractures treated by 47 surgeons with open reduction internal fixation from January 2010 to March 2019. Our main outcome measure was skin tenting, as diagnosed by the treating surgeon and used as an indication for surgical treatment.
resultsSkin tenting was diagnosed by the treating surgeon in 34 out of 396 patients (9%) with displaced midshaft clavicle fractures. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that lower BMI (
conclusionAlthough lower BMI and greater fracture shortening were associated with skin tenting, the diagnosis is subjective. We found wide variation in the diagnosis of skin tenting, even among surgeons within a single metropolitan area.
