A Modified Endoscopic Technique with Three Incisions for Rockwood Types III and V Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveAcromioclavicular joint dislocation is one of the most common shoulder injuries in young men. With the advancement of minimally invasive technology, arthroscopy of acromioclavicular joint dislocation has been recognized for its good curative effect. This study aimed to explore the technical details and clinical efficacy of a modified minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
methodsClinical data of patients receiving the three-incision endoscopic treatment were retrospectively reviewed between July 2013 and July 2019. A total of 72 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation of Rockwood type III (n = 42) and type V (n = 30) were included in this study. Postoperative routine radiography was performed to evaluate acromioclavicular joint reduction and fixation. In addition, functional recovery of the shoulder joint was assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Constant-Murley scores. Differences between the preoperative and postoperative data were compared using paired t-tests.
resultsAll patients underwent loop plate elastic fixation under endoscopy during 24 to 48 months of follow-up. Postoperative radiography showed that the acromioclavicular joint achieved anatomical reduction. The ASES score (91.1 ± 4.2) was significantly improved compared to the preoperative ASES score (62.4 ± 3.1) (t = 46.65, P < 0.0001). The Constant-Murley score (93.1 ± 4.6) was also significantly higher than that before the operation (40.7 ± 6.4) (t = 56.41, P < 0.0001). No postoperative complications occurred. During follow-up, four patients had mild acromioclavicular joint degeneration but no obvious pain symptoms.
conclusionThe modified three-incision endoscopic technique optimizes the surgical incision, reduces trauma, is minimally invasive, and provides rapid rehabilitation with satisfactory clinical outcomes.
