Surgical treatment of unstable and displaced medial clavicle fractures with a contoured biplanar low profile angle stable implant.
Article in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2026. 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
objectiveTo achieve stable fixation to allow early mobilization by using a low profile contoured biplanar implant to avoid soft tissue problems and to minimize need for implant removal. INDICATIONS: Unstable and displaced medial clavicle fractures in young patients with high functional demands. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Open/contaminated fractures. Fractures in geriatric patients with low functional demands. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Saber cut incision over the medial clavicle. Perpendicular incision to open the calvipectoral fascia. Fracture reduction and temporary retention. Contouring and attachment of the plate. Definitive plate fixation. Radiological documentation. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Cryotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication on demand. Shoulder sling for comfort for 1-2 weeks. Physical therapy with active flexion and abduction limited to 90° for 6 weeks. Clinical and radiological follow up for 6-12 months.
resultsIn total, 5 patients were treated with the described technique. All patients were very satisfied with the result. The mean Constant-Murley score was 91 points and the mean Quick DASH (disabilities of shoulder and hand) was 3% after an average follow-up of 74 months. In none of the cases implant removal was necessary.
