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

Fractures involving the lunate facet of the distal radius (commonly called the volar ulnar corner or "critical corner") are often difficult to recognize radiographically. "Lunate facet escape" refers to the displacement of this fragment after attempted distal radius fracture closed or open reduction methods. Lunate facet escape can have severe consequences including carpal collapse with pain, instability, and arthritis. Challenges to lunate facet fixation include irregular cortical contour that makes plate fixation difficult, as well as deforming forces by inserting structures. The goal of the management of a distal radius fracture with lunate facet involvement is first identification, then adequate stabilization until osseous healing occurs. However, subsequent lunate facet escape can pose a challenging clinical and surgical dilemma. Here we discuss our preferred approach to treat lunate facet escape after distal radius fracture volar locking plating failure.
