1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLateral clavicle fractures can be treated both conservatively and surgically depending on the fracture classification. Different surgical techniques have been described for the operative treatment. The selection of the appropriate technique is decisive for the functional outcome and healing process without complications. CASE: We report on a patient with a secondary dislocation of two Kirschner wires after Kirschner wire osteosynthesis. The secondary dislocation caused one of the wires to migrate into the mediastinum and pulmonary tissue, directly under the aortic arch. To prevent further migration with potential damage to surrounding structures, a uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopy was performed to retrieve the wire.

conclusionThe treatment of lateral clavicle fractures should be performed with bent Kirschner wires as they can otherwise lead to severe complications including the occurrence of pseudarthrosis or secondary migration of the material. Safe and stable surgical techniques (plate osteosynthesis, hybrid treatment) should be preferred if they are available.
