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

backgroundSternoclavicular joint dislocation (SJD) is rare, and joint instability after dislocation easily leads to deformity, pain, and limitations in performing activities, often requiring surgical treatment. Currently, there is no ideal internal fixation method for SJD. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient with anterior dislocation of the right sternoclavicular joint (SJ) caused by a car accident who underwent open reduction and internal fixation using the double plate technique combined with the cable technique. Postoperative follow-up showed good mobility of the right shoulder joint, with a Rockwood SJ score of 15, and no complications such as loss of joint repositioning, localized pain, and vascular and nerve injuries. At the last follow-up at 6 months after surgery, the wire was found to be broken without displaced, and the internal fixation was removed.

conclusionThe double plate technique combined with the cable technique may be an effective treatment option for SJD, and 1.2 mm titanium cables may be more advantageous for cable fixation.
