New surgical approach for distal clavicle fractures: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundClavicle fractures are a common type of fracture that often occurs after high-energy trauma. The treatment methods for clavicle fractures remain controversial. Both locking compression and hook plates are recommended. CASE SUMMARY: A 44-year-old male suffered an injury during skiing. Radiography revealed a right-sided distal clavicular fracture. The fracture was treated using a hook plate due to its small size. During the surgical procedure, Kirschner wires were used to drill holes in the acromion. The end of the hook plate was inserted into the hole rather than below the edge of the acromion.
conclusionOne year later, imaging revealed complete healing of the fracture, and the hook plate was removed. The patient was satisfied with the course and treatment results. Additionally, a new classification system was proposed based on the degree of injury to the distal clavicle joint surface. The incidence of postoperative complications associated with the use of hook plates for clavicular fracture treatment is relatively high. Complications can be reduced by changing the hook plate placement.
