A case report of a distal radius fracture treated with a dorsal spanning plate augmented with fragment specific fixation.

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
Dorsal spanning plates are frequently utilized to manage comminuted intra-articular distal radius fractures, but there is little literature on combining them with augmented fixation in complex cases. We present a 43-year-old man who fell 5 ft onto his outstretched right hand. On examination, there was gross swelling and tenderness of the right wrist with no neurovascular deficit. Radiographs confirmed a comminuted intra-articular displaced distal radius fracture. He was treated with a dorsal spanning plate fixation combined with radiostyloid and volar buttress plates. Follow-up at 2 months showcased intact hardware with good fracture healing. The dorsal spanning plate was removed 4 months after the procedure with radiographs demonstrating adequate alignment and healing without failure. The patient reported no complaints and minimal functional disability. We highlight a case of augmenting a dorsal spanning plate with fragment-specific plate fixation for a comminuted intra-articular displaced distal radius fracture.
