Dorsal Claviculectomy For Treatment Of Brachial Plexus Injury After Scapulothoracic Fusion: A Case Report And Literature Review.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Scapulothoracic fusion is a procedure used to treat severe cases of scapular instability, most commonly due to facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). Patients who undergo scapulothoracic fusion surgery are at risk for neurovascular complications such as brachial plexus (BP) injury. Case Report: A 35-year-old right-hand-dominant female with FSHD who underwent scapulothoracic fusion that was complicated by a BP injury, which did not improve with reoperation for scapular repositioning. Conclusion: We performed a novel treatment of dorsal claviculectomy, after which the patient experienced near complete recovery of her BP injury. Dorsal claviculectomy can be considered as a treatment option for BP injury following scapulothoracic fusion to relieve BP stretch and promote neural recovery.
