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

Symptomatic Os acromiale can cause pain, impingement, and reduced range of movement. Disruption of the syndesmosis can result in significant pain and functional impairment; this may occur after trauma. Symptomatic Os acromiale is treated by either excision or fixation. Fixation via open technique is the mainstay of surgical intervention; however, recently, arthroscopic methods were used. In this technical note, we discuss the modification for all arthroscopic Os acromiale fixation; the fixation screws are introduced in anteroposterior fashion, employing the advances in orthopaedic fixation devices. Arthroscopic fixation is not widely adopted, possibly due to availability of implants and perceived difficult learning curve. We report this technique and demonstrate reproducibility with excellent results.
