Comparison of buttress plate and cannulated screw in the treatment of anteromedial coronoid fracture with elbow posteromedial rotatory instability.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the effect of buttress plate and cannulated screw in the treatment of anteromedial coronoid fracture with posteromedial rotatory instability (PMRI).
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients who were diagnosed with O'Driscoll type 2 fractures combined with elbow posteromedial rotatory instability and underwent surgery for anteromedial coronoid fracture between August 2014 and March 2019. They were divided into buttress plate (n=16) and cannulated screw (n=11) groups. The elbow range of motion, visual analog scale (VAS), Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), and disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score (DASH) were used for clinical outcome assessment.
resultThere were no significant differences in clinical outcomes. However, the surgical time was significantly shorter in cannulated screw group (85.45±4.156) compared to the buttress plate group (93.81±8.863, P=0.008), and the surgical time was associated with internal fixation (P=0.008).
conclusionAlthough there was selection of cases in that small fragments were treated with buttress plate and large fragments with cannulated screw, the buttress plate and cannulated screw have comparable functional outcomes on fixation of the anteromedial coronoid fracture with elbow PMRI. The fixation of the anteromedial coronoid fracture with large fragments using the cannulated screw has a shorter operation time.
