Pediatric Sternal Segment Dislocation Caused by Different Types of Injury: A Report of Two Cases.
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
Sternal segment dislocations in children are extremely rare, and there is currently no consensus on their mechanism of injury or management approach. We report two pediatric cases of sternal segment dislocation with different mechanisms of injury. Case 1, a four-year-old girl, sustained an injury without any direct impact or bruising. Radiographic examination revealed dislocation of the first sternal segment with anterior displacement of the sternal body. Case 2, a seven-year-old boy, developed chest pain after striking his chest against the edge of a desk. Imaging showed no anterior displacement of the sternal body relative to the manubrium. Both cases were treated conservatively, resulting in spontaneous bone remodeling and favorable outcomes, despite surgical management being more commonly reported in the literature. Careful consideration is warranted when determining treatment strategies for young patients with significant potential for bone remodeling.
