Treatment of acromioclavicular dislocations with a concomitant coracoid fracture: a systematic review of 37 patients.
Review in JSES international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations with a concomitant fracture of the coracoid process (CP) are rare and there is ambiguity on treatment options. This systematic review was performed to address the clinically relevant question: what are the shoulder functions, union rates, and expected time until return to daily life in patients with a dislocation of the AC joint with a concomitant CP fracture after (1) nonsurgical treatment, (2) sole fixation of the AC joint, and (3) fixation of both the AC joint and the coracoid process? Methods: Studies were identified by conducting an online. Thirty records met the inclusion criteria and were suitable for data extraction. Results: A total of 37 shoulders from 37 patients were included. Surgical treatment was provided to 22 out of 37 patients, and 15 patients had nonsurgical treatment. Out of the surgically treated patients, 12 patients were treated with a fixation of both the AC joint and the CP, 9 patients with a sole fixation of the AC joint, and 1 patient with a sole fixation of the CP. Conclusion: Existing literature does not indicate that one treatment option is superior, and more data are needed to guide evidence-based decisions on this rare injury.
