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

introduction and importanceA rare case of a fracture of the medial third of the clavicle on the basis of the "floating clavicle" was hereby reported. To the best of our knowledge, this complex clavicle fracture has not yet been published. This article aims to describe, for the first time, a case of the diagnosis and treatment of this special clavicle fracture. CASE PRESENTATION: The 26-year-old male patient suffered from a right sternoclavicular dislocation, a fracture of the right medial third of the clavicle, and a dislocation of the right acromioclavicular joint due to a car accident. In the course of treatment, he was missed diagnosis, and after active adjustment of treatment plan, good therapeutic effect was achieved. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: A special case of a floating clavicle was hereby reported. The missed diagnosis of sternoclavicular dislocation will cause great difficulties in the management of the disease. Based on the condition and clear diagnosis of the patient, surgical treatment was actively recommended for the patient. The selection of the implant for surgical treatment varied due to its specificity. A comprehensive literature review is also provided.

conclusionClavicular bone fracture is common in clinical practice. At the same time, the injury of sternoclavicular joint and acromioclavicular joint should be vigilant. For the complex clavicle fracture reported in this paper, the computed tomography scan with 3D reconstruction can assist in diagnosis. In the case of definite diagnosis, the use of a contralateral distal clavicular plate in combination with the conventional clavicular hook plate is an appropriate choice.
