Surgical Management of an Isolated Posterior Manubrium Fracture in a Division One Collegiate Ice Hockey Athlete: 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
A 21-year-old, Division One men's ice hockey athlete, sustained a traumatic, left shoulder injury that resulted in a displaced posterior left-sided manubrium fracture. Due to persistent pain that limited return to sport and fracture non-union, he underwent fracture fragment resection via an open transpectoralis major approach. The patient's pain fully resolved, and he returned to sport-specific activities two months after surgery with the anticipation of full participation in contact activity upon return to campus. Isolated fractures to the manubrium, while uncommon, are generally associated with severe concomitant injuries. Contact sport athletes are at risk for manubrium fractures despite the few documented reports. Surgical management should be considered for cases of manubrium fractures in patients with persistent pain.
