Radiolucent cerclage for humerus fractures: beware of radial nerve injury-a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. 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
A 73-year-old woman was referred to a National Centre for Peripheral Nerve Injury with a post-operative left radial nerve degenerative lesion following open reduction and internal fixation of a proximal third humerus fracture using radiolucent Arthrex FiberTape® Cerclage as an adjunct to plating to improve stability. Intra-operative photographs illustrate compression of the radial nerve under the cerclage construct. Use of radiolucent cerclage for humerus fractures is increasing with modern systems capable of withstanding an ultimate load of 4300 N. We highlight the risk of debilitating neurological injury when not deployed safely and describe anatomical high-risk zones for injury. We emphasize the impact of delay in diagnosis and treatment.
