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

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy and radiological results of three surgical methods for treating Rockwood III-V acromioclavicular dislocation. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 62 patients with acute Rockwood III-V acromioclavicular dislocation who were admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to December 2022. Among these patients, 19 received the modified Weaver-Dunn technique (Group A), 20 underwent the arthroscopic single tunnel technique (Group B), and 23 received the arthroscopic coracoid sling technique (Group C). The clinical outcomes assessed included perioperative indicators, shoulder joint function outcomes, VAS scores, acromioclavicular joint redislocation rates, and complications. The radiological results primarily focused on the changes in the distance between the beak and the clavicle (CCD). Results: All patients were followed for an average duration of 32.72 ± 7.93 months. At the final follow-up, the shoulder joint function scores, pain scores, and imaging findings of all three patient groups exhibited significant improvements compared to their preoperative values. Three months post-surgery, a comparative analysis among the three groups revealed that Groups B and C demonstrated significantly superior shoulder joint function scores and pain relief in comparison to Group A (p 0.05). Regarding complications, all three groups experienced various postoperative complications; however, no significant differences were found in the incidence of complications among the groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Three surgical methods have demonstrated favorable and comparable clinical and imaging outcomes in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation. Compared to the modified Weaver-Dunn technique, coracoid process single tunnel fixation and coracoid process non-tunnel suspension fixation may be more effective and provide a higher level of mobility.
