Dual mini-plate vs. T-plate fixation for Edinburgh type IB proximal clavicle fractures: a comparative clinical study.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of dual mini-plate fixation and T-plate fixation in the management of Edinburgh type IB proximal clavicular fractures (PCFs).
methodsA total of 100 patients with PCF who underwent surgical treatment using either dual mini-plate fixation (mini-plate group) or a T-plate fixation (T-plate group). Therapeutic efficacy, operative parameters, recovery metrics, postoperative complications, subjective pain, upper extremity function, shoulder range of motion, and serum bone metabolic markers were compared between the two groups.
resultsClinical outcomes favored the mini-plate approach over the T-plate technique. Operation time and intraoperative blood loss did not differ statistically between groups. However, the mini-plate procedure resulted in a smaller incision, shorter hospital stay, faster fracture healing, earlier return to work, fewer complications, and greater improvements in pain relief, upper limb function, shoulder mobility, and bone metabolic activity.
conclusionFor Edinburgh type IB PCFs, dual mini-plate fixation provides superior clinical efficacy over T-plate fixation, promoting faster recovery and improved functional outcomes.
