Extensor Tendon Injury After Volar Locking Plating for Distal Radius Fractures: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Distal radius fractures are common orthopedic injuries. Treatment has varied historically, but volar locking plating currently predominates. Although flexor tendon injury is a well-studied complication of this operation, extensor tendon injury is less well studied. The purpose of this review is to search the literature and present the epidemiology, presentation, and treatment of this complication. The Cochrane, EMBASE, PubMed, and SCOPUS databases were searched for the terms "volar" + "radius" + ("plate" OR "plating") + "extensor." Ninety final studies were included for analysis in this review. The incidence of extensor tendon rupture varies from 0% to 12.5%; the extensor pollicis longus is most commonly ruptured. The presentation and management of extensor tendon injury after injury, intraoperatively, and postoperatively are summarized. Radiographic views are described to detect screw prominence and minimize intraoperative risk. Extensor tendon injury after volar locking plate for distal radius fractures is an uncommon injury with several risk factors including dorsal screw prominence and fracture fragments. Removal of hardware and tendon transfers or reconstruction may be necessary to prevent loss of extensor mechanism.
