Clinical Outcomes of Double Mini-Plating Compared with a Single Superior Plating in Midshaft Clavicular Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial Study.

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: In the current study, we aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of the double-plating method using 2.7 mm compression plates compared with the single superior 3.5 mm compression plating method in displaced midshaft fractures of the clavicle. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with midshaft fractures of the clavicle were randomly assigned into two groups. In group A, 15 patients were fixed by a double-plating technique using two 2.7 mm compression plates on the superior and anteroinferior sides of the bone. The fractures in group B were fixed by a superior plating technique using a single 3.5 mm compression plate. Intraoperative bleeding measurement, length of surgical incision, duration of procedure time, and functional scores were assessed post-surgically through one-year follow-ups. Results: There was no significant difference between groups in terms of surgery time. Device failure was not found among all recruited patients. Incision length and device prominence complaint were significantly different between groups ( Conclusion: Double mini-plating of diaphyseal clavicular fractures could result in a smaller surgical incision and a lower rate of prominence without affecting fixation stability and clinical outcomes in comparison with single superior 3.5 mm plates.
