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

Numerous techniques have been described for the treatment of acute and chronic acromioclavicular joint dislocations, usually addressing only the coracoclavicular ligaments without including acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. However, failure of acromioclavicular reconstruction procedures may occur due to persistent horizontal instability. A surgical technique is described, where, in addition to coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with a semitendinosus autograft, acromioclavicular joint capsule reconstruction is performed via a fascia lata autograft. The fascia lata autograft is attached to the distal clavicle and the acromion, enveloping the anterior, superior, and posterior surfaces of the acromioclavicular joint. The autograft is stabilized with either bone anchors or transosseous sutures. The described technique improves horizontal plane stability, is simple to perform, and can be applied in both acute and chronic acromioclavicular joint instability.
