1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Manubrio-sternal dislocations (MSDs) are a rare entity that requires high-intensity energy trauma. It can be associated with complex fractures that can be challenging to manage. We aim to present our surgical approach to an MSD associated with multiple chondrosternal joint fractures and underline the mechanism of these rare traumatic chest wall damages. A 39-year-old male suffered from a forklift truck mishap. He arrived at our tertiary center with posterior MSD and chondrosternal joint fracture, lung contusion, pneumothorax, and right humerus fracture. He underwent an open reduction of the sternum and fixation by a sternal plate, bilateral costal osteosynthesis, and humerus fixation. Thoracic cage fracture associated with MSD leads to instability and higher morbi-mortality. Therefore, the surgical approach must be based on the surgeon's experience and procedures to optimize thoracic cage stability, which must remain the primary objective. We herein report our surgical approach regarding a complex MSD.
