Are There Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Management and Outcomes of Surgically Treated Distal Radius Fractures?
Article in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRacial/ethnic disparities have been demonstrated across multiple orthopedic sub-specialties. There is a paucity of literature examining disparities in distal radius fracture (DRF) management.
methodsUsing the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, we analyzed 15 559 non-Hispanic (NH) White, NH Black, NH Asian, and Hispanic adults who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for DRF from 2013 to 2019. We evaluated time from hospital admission to surgery and length of stay using Poisson regression. Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (PE), and wound complications were reported using descriptive statistics. Thirty-day reoperation and readmission were analyzed using binary logistic regression.
resultsWait time to surgery was longer for Hispanic patients than NH White patients (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 2.54,
conclusionsRacial and ethnic disparities exist in DRF management. Further investigation on causes for and solutions to combat these disparities in DRF care may help improve the inequities observed.
