The "Chiang Mai Lean Forward" Radiographic View for Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries: A Cadaveric Study.

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
Background: Operative treatment is suggested for unstable type 3 acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries; however, there is no clear consensus regarding the definition of an unstable type 3 injury. We propose a new radiographic method, the "Chiang Mai lean forward" view, to verify horizontal displacement in an unstable AC joint injury. Hypothesis: A radiograph taken with the torso leaning forward would allow the detection of a higher proportion of AC joint injuries. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: A total of 20 shoulders from 10 fresh whole-body cadaveric specimens (mean age, 68.8 years) were tested at 3 different torso leaning angles (30°, 45°, and 60°) to determine the best position for projecting the x-ray beam. The shoulders were dissected sequentially starting with the AC ligament (stage 1), then additional sectioning of the partial coracoclavicular (CC) ligament with either the trapezoid ligament cut first (stage 2A) or the conoid ligament cut first (stage 2B), and finally complete sectioning of the CC ligament (stage 3). Radiography was performed after each stage to evaluate the degree of displacement of the anterior border of the acromion relative to the anterior border of the clavicle. Paired Results: Leaning at an angle of 30° provided better visualization of the AC joint in the "Chiang Mai lean forward" view. Compared with the intact condition, complete isolated cutting of the AC ligament produced 5.21 mm of horizontal displacement of the AC joint ( Conclusion: The "Chiang Mai lean forward" radiographic view is a potentially useful tool for determining the degree of the injury and the stability of the AC joint.
