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

Bilateral medial third clavicle fractures are very rare, with only very few cases reported in the literature. The mechanism underlying this type of fracture is often complex, and so far, its treatment remains controversial. We report a case of bilateral medial third clavicle fractures after a traffic accident. X-ray showed dislocation of bilateral medial third clavicles. The patient was cured by surgery and instrument fixation. Both clavicles were fixed using an inverted anatomic locking plate. The patient had excellent shoulder function after 2 years of surgery. Clavicle stability is necessary for normal shoulder function, and surgical fixation is becoming a trend for displaced medial third clavicle fractures. In this study, we reported a patient with bilateral clavicle fractures of the medial third who was treated by surgery and achieved excellent shoulder movement. An inverted anatomic locking plate is an effective internal fixation material for treating this type of fracture.
