Morphologic Alterations of the Sternoclavicular Joint following Ipsilateral Clavicle Fractures.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
rationaleTo our knowledge, no study has investigated concomitant injuries of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) in acute clavicle fractures. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an ipsilateral clavicle fracture on the SCJ in a systematic computer tomography (CT) morphologic evaluation.
methodsCT scans in the axial and coronal plane of 45 consecutive patients with clavicle fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The scans were assessed regarding anatomic congruence of bilateral SCJs-joint space width (JSW); the position of bilateral medial clavicles (PC); and the non-fusion of epiphyses, arthritis, calcifications, and intra-articular gas.
resultsThe mean SCJ JSW was significantly different in the coronal (cJSW; 8.70 mm ± 2.61 mm in affected vs. 7.63 mm ± 2.58 mm in non-affected side;
conclusionAcute clavicle fractures may be associated with an enlargement of the ipsilateral SCJ space width and a superior shift of the proximal clavicle. Both morphologic alterations could indicate concomitant injuries of the SCJ as well as a potential increase in the risk of SCJ instability.
