1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Locked volar plate fixation is currently the gold-standard treatment for distal radius fractures. Although volar plating is considered as a reasonably safe treatment option for distal radial fractures, several complications can be observed, such as median nerve injury. We present an 84-year-old male with an intra-articular comminuted fracture of the left distal radius that presented as a late postoperative complication a complete axonotmesis of the median nerve due to screw migration of a locked volar plate. An electromyography was performed confirming complete median nerve axonotmesis, and with proximal stimulation, a Martin-Gruber anastomosis in the proximal forearm was discovered.
