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
objectiveScaphoid fracture was the most common carpal fracture and the most challenging. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical effects of closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation under fluoroscopy and arthroscopy-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation in the treatment of Herbert B2-type of acute scaphoid fractures.
methodsA retrospective controlled study was conducted on 29 patients with Herbert B2-type acute scaphoid fracture with a displacement of >1 mm admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to June 2021. Patients were divided into two groups, 11 patients were treated with closed reduction percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation under fluoroscopy and 18 patients were treated with percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation assisted by arthroscopy. The operative time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, fracture healing time, complications, and postoperative wrist function score of the two groups were compared.
resultsAll patients were followed up for 6-18 months (mean follow-up duration: 10.38 ± 2.69 months). The respective operation times in the arthroscopy group and fluoroscopy group was 51.50 ± 6.69 min and 56.73 ± 11.48 min, respectively (p > 0.05). The number of fluoroscopies performed in the arthroscopy group was (6.83 ± 1.30), which was less than that in the fluoroscopy group (10.91 ± 2.62) (p < 0.05). All fractures in the arthroscopy group healed after the operation, and the fracture healing time was 11.44 ± 1.25W. Ten patients in the fluoroscopy group healed. The fracture healing time was 13.60 ± 2.32 W. The fracture healing time in arthroscopy group was less than that in the fluoroscopy group (p < 0.05). One patient in the fluoroscopy group had nonunion and healed after bone grafting and internal fixation. At the postoperative 6-month follow-up, the modified Mayo wrist function score was used to evaluate the clinical results. The wrist function score of patients in the arthroscopy group was 90 (85, 95), which was >80 (80, 90) in the fluoroscopy group (z = 2.74, p < 0.05).
conclusionFor Herbert B2-type acute scaphoid fracture with fracture displacement > 1 mm, the arthroscopy-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation has less fluoroscopy times, short fracture healing time, and good recovery effect of wrist function compared to the fluoroscopy.
