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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to describe the surgical technique and evaluate functional outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation in patients with scapular fractures.

methodsIn this study, ten patients with scapular fractures with Ideberg type four and five, who had undergone operatively with the Judet approach in three different orthopedic centers between March 2014 and October 2018, were evaluated retrospectively. By the end of at least a 2-year follow-up period, postoperative Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Constant questionnaires were evaluated by all participating patients.

resultsThree of these patients had fractures on the left; seven patients had fractures on the right side, and the average patient age was 35.1±9.75. Mean Constant and DASH scores were 87.9±13.68 and 5.57±5.21, respectively. In two patients, about 2 cm adjacent to the suprascapular notch, perioperative suprascapular nerve injury was stated and sutured using the epineural technique. By the end of the 2-year follow-up of these two patients, infraspinatus muscle atrophy had occurred. However, external rotation muscle strength was 4/5 in both patients.

conclusionThis study suggests that scapula fractures extending glenoid articular surface can be safely fixed through the Judet approach and had satisfactory results. In addition, two patients with traumatic suprascapular nerve injury were encountered during the surgery and repaired which may be hard to diagnose with modified or minimal incisional approaches.
