Sagittal Band Disruption Following Percutaneous Retrograde Intramedullary Screw Fixation of a Metacarpal Shaft Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Metacarpal fractures may be managed operatively or non-operatively, with malrotation being an indication for operative management. High rates of stiffness have been reported following operative management of metacarpal fractures, and intramedullary screw fixation is a widely accepted treatment that allows early range of motion to help prevent stiffness. While there are some known complications of this treatment modality, there are limited reports of sagittal band disruption. We report the case of a man who presented with sagittal band disruption and ulnar deviation following percutaneous retrograde intramedullary screw fixation of a metacarpal shaft fracture. This report includes details of the patient's injury, treatment, complication, and follow-up, and urges the awareness of the complication and a reconsideration in the fixation approach and technique.
