A Sternoclavicular Joint-Specific Plate for the Displaced Medial-End Clavicle Fracture.

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
Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ)-specific plate for the treatment of medial-end clavicle fracture and evaluate the clinical and radiological results of this method. Methods: From January 2006 to December 2020, 31 patients with displaced medial-end clavicle fractures were included in this study, with 8 patients with accompanying SCJ dislocation. Abduction and forward elevation of the shoulder, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES) were used for evaluation before index surgery and at the latest follow-up. Results: After an average of 98.5 (range, 13 to 171) months, the mean VAS significantly decreased from 6.8 ± 1.0 preoperatively to 0.9 ± 0.8 at the latest follow-up ( Conclusions: This SCJ-specific plate provided excellent long-term results for the treatment of displaced medial-end clavicle fractures and was an alternative implant for medial-end clavicle fractures with or without small or comminuted medial fragments, especially those associated with SCJ dislocation.
