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

Distal clavicle insufficiency, or a loss of the bony structure of the distal clavicle, generally after an injury or surgical procedure, may result in shoulder pain, dysfunction, scapular dyskinesia, and chronic acromioclavicular joint instability. If more than 15 to 20 mm of the distal clavicle is missing, chronic posterior instability of the distal clavicle may ensue and impinge on the deltotrapezial fascia and scapular spine. Although soft tissue reconstruction of the acromioclavicular-coracoclavicular (AC-CC) ligaments is a reliable procedure, if there is 15 to 20 mm or more of distal clavicle missing, it may be difficult to restore the mechanics of the scapular and glenohumeral joint. These can be seen after open or arthroscopic Mumford procedures (distal clavicle excision), AC-CC reconstructions with fracture, distal clavicle fractures, and other mechanisms. This technique article outlines an approach to distal clavicle insufficiency (>20 mm of missing distal clavicle bone) with iliac crest bone autograft reconstruction of the distal clavicle augmented with AC-CC soft tissue reconstruction.
