Dual mini-fragment plate fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures is biomechanically equivalent to anatomic pre-contoured plating.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo biomechanically compare the stiffness of midshaft synthetic clavicle osteotomies fixed with either superior anatomic pre-contoured locking plates, anterior anatomic pre-contoured locking plates, or short-segment dual orthogonal mini-plate fixation. DESIGN AND
settingControlled laboratory study. Specimens Twenty-one synthetic pre-osteotomized clavicles were separated into three groups: superior plating, anterior plating, or dual-plating. Each clavicle was sequentially tested in non-destructive cycles of axial compression, three-point bending, and torsion. Load and displacement were recorded. Stiffness was calculated.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were found between construct stiffness during axial compression, three-point bending, or torsional testing. One superior plated clavicle suffered catastrophic failure during axial compression. One dual mini-fragment plated clavicle suffered catastrophic failure during torsion.
conclusionsOrthogonal dual mini-fragment fixation of transverse clavicle fractures is biomechanically similar to superior and anterior pre-contoured anatomic locking plate fixation. No statistically significant differences in construct stiffness were found in axial compression, three-point bending, or torsion testing. Further clinical research is required to determine the long-term stability of dual mini-fragment plate fixation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
