Double plate fixation improves stiffness in a comminuted canine scapula fracture gap model compared to single plate fixation.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2026. 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
objectiveTo determine whether a secondary plate on the caudolateral aspect of the scapula increases stiffness and reduces primary plate strain compared to a single plate along the cranial scapula spine in a comminuted fracture gap model. STUDY
designEx vivo mechanical study. SAMPLE POPULATION: A total of 14 paired canine scapulae.
methodsA comminuted fracture gap model was created. A 2.4 mm plate was secured along the cranial aspect of the scapula spine in 28 scapulae. A secondary 2.0 mm plate was secured on the caudolateral border of 14 scapulae. Scapula were sinusoidally loaded from -20 to -200 N for 7200 cycles at 2 Hz. The displacement was measured, and stiffness calculated. Digital image correlation calculated primary plate surface strain. A two-way ANOVA assessed displacement and stiffness. Primary plate strain was assessed with a paired t-test. Statistical significance was set at p < .05.
resultsMean displacement was higher in the single plate group, -0.81 mm (± 0.14) compared to the double plate group, -0.48 mm (± 0.08) (p < .0001). Mean stiffness was lower in the single plate group, 392.8 N/mm (± 13.72) compared to the double plate group, 563.7 N/mm (± 5.89) (p <.0001). There was no difference in primary plate surface strain between the two groups.
conclusionDouble plate fixation improved stiffness in a comminuted scapula fracture gap model compared to single plate fixation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The placement of an additional plate placed on the caudolateral aspect of the scapula improves stiffness in comminuted scapula body fractures.
