A Rare Case of Ipsilateral Radial Head, Neck, and Shaft Fracture With Intact Ulna in a Young Adult.
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
Fractures involving multiple levels of the radius are rare and often associated with ulnar involvement or distal radius injury. We report a previously undocumented injury pattern: a comminuted ipsilateral fracture of the radial head, neck, and shaft, with an intact ulna, in a 28-year-old male following road traffic trauma. The classification system of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO), also known as the Working Group for Osteosynthesis Questions, does not include this type of fracture configuration. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation using a headless screw construct for the radial head and a mini fragment locking plate spanning from the shaft to the radial head. Despite the rare pattern of injury and complexity involved, the patient achieved satisfactory early functional outcomes. This case highlights the importance of recognising rare radial fracture patterns and employing tailored fixation strategies to restore function, anatomical alignment, and stability.
