Investigating Outcomes Following Distal Upper Extremity Fractures in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects bone health and fracture healing, with limited research on distal upper extremity fractures. This study evaluated the impact of CKD on fracture outcomes, including healing time, complications, and mortality, to inform surgical management strategies. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients with CKD stages 1-4 and end-stage renal disease who underwent distal upper extremity fracture repair at a level 1 tertiary hospital. Data on demographics, CKD stage, comorbidities, surgical details, and complications were analyzed. Radiographic union time was assessed. A national database was used for external validation and analysis of postoperative risks, including propensity-matched controls. Results: The CKD cohort (n = 29) showed significantly delayed fracture healing compared with controls (68.4 ± 9.2 versus 50.6 ± 8.0 d; Conclusions: CKD adversely affects outcomes following distal upper extremity fracture repair, emphasizing the need for tailored perioperative management. These findings highlight the importance of early identification of CKD-related risks to optimize patient care and outcomes.
