Loss of Radial Height in Patients Undergoing Fixation with a Distal Volar Anatomical Locking Plate: A Retrospective Study in a Public Institution.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To evaluate and quantify the frequency and magnitude of late loss of radiographic parameters following volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures. Methods: The present is a retrospective, cross-sectional study that radiographically analyzed 65 wrists operated on between 2020 and 2024 at a public institution, evaluating postoperative loss of radial height. Results: The results showed a median loss of 0.60 mm, with 13.8% of patients experiencing losses greater than 2 mm, and 75.4% experiencing lower losses. No evidence was found that sex statistically significantly affects this incidence after the Wald test. Conclusion: Despite the effectiveness of the volar locking plate in maintaining reduction, loss of radial height still occurs, especially in older patients with more complex fractures. The present study corroborates the use of this osteosynthesis technique, a fundamental tool in the management of complex fractures of the distal third of the radius, to restore and maintain the anatomy of the region.
