Interosseous impasse: a unique case of bullet lodgement between the radius and ulna.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Gunshot injuries to the upper limb are complex, particularly when a projectile lodges between the radius and ulna. These cases demand a detailed approach due to the complicated anatomy and potential for severe functional impairment. A 42-year-old female presented with severe right upper limb pain and motor impairment following a gunshot injury. The bullet entered through the posterior shoulder, shattered the mid-humerus and proximal radius, and lodged between the distal radius and ulna. Multidisciplinary surgical intervention included external fixator application and removal, open reduction, and internal fixation of the humerus, complete nerve decompression, and vascular repair using an interposition reversed saphenous vein graft. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and follow-up showed sensory improvement and some motor recovery. This case highlights the complexity of managing gunshot injuries with bullets lodged between the radius and ulna. Multidisciplinary care is essential for addressing the varied challenges posed by such injuries. Further research is needed to refine treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes in similar cases.
