Arthroscopic coracoclavicular button fixation versus anatomic locking plate fixation for unstable distal clavicular fractures.
Article in JSES international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
hypothesisNeer type II distal clavicle fractures are unstable and associated with high nonunion rates. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of anatomic locking plate fixation and arthroscopic coracoclavicular button fixation for unstable distal clavicle fractures.
methodsForty-seven patients with Neer type II distal clavicle fractures were treated surgically using either anatomic locking plate fixation (group 1, n = 20) or all arthroscopic coracoclavicular button fixation (group 2, n = 27) between 2012 and 2019 in 2 centers. Clinical and radiographic outcomes after an average follow-up period of 49 months for group 1 and 32 months for group 2 were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder score, Constant-Murley score, visual analog scale score and X-rays.
resultsAt the final follow-up, the mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder score, Constant-Murley score, and visual analog scale score for group 1 and group 2 were 92.5 ± 3.9 (range 88.3-98.3), 93.6 ± 4.0 (range 90-100), and 0.6 ± 0.6 (range 0-2) and 95 ± 3.3 (range 86.6-100), 96.2 ± 3.0 (range 88-100), and 0.4 ± 0.5 (range 0-1), respectively (
conclusionBoth distal anatomic locking plate fixation and arthroscopic coracoclavicular button fixation provide satisfactory functional and radiological outcomes. Both procedures can be used to treat distal clavicle fractures because they have a minimal risk of complications and present similar, high union rates.
