[Treatment of symptomatic pseudarthrosis following acromion fracture with a patient-specific implant customized on a 3D-printed scapula].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivePatient-specific osteosynthesis for pseudarthrosis of the acromion. INDICATIONS: Symptomatic pseudarthrosis of the acromion at the level of a meta/mesacromion. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Infection; patient noncompliance regarding postoperative treatment protocol. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Preoperatively, a patient-specific three-dimensional model of the scapula is printed. A locking compression plate (LCP) is individually adapted to this model. Via a dorsal surgical approach over the scapular spine, the pseudarthrosis is refreshed and autologous cancellous bone from the iliac crest is embedded in the fracture zone. This is followed by fixed-angle osteosynthesis with the individualized plate. In addition, tension banding with tapes is performed to reduce the tensile and shear forces on the fracture caused by the muscle. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Consistent wearing of a shoulder-arm brace for 6 weeks postoperatively, active-assisted increase in range of motion for an additional 3 weeks, then gradual increase in weight-bearing and initiation of daily activities without additional weights until 12 weeks postoperatively.
resultsTreatment with the presented technique resulted in radiographic consolidation of the fracture and significant improvement in range of motion and pain at the 1‑year follow-up.
