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 the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel locking anatomical plate designed for the acromial end of the clavicle (hereinafter referred to as the "novel locking plate") in the treatment of Neer type Ⅱb and type Ⅴ distal clavicle fractures. Methods: Between February 2024 and January 2025, a total of 12 patients with Neer type Ⅱb and type Ⅴ distal clavicle fractures resulting from trauma were treated using the novel locking plate. The cohort comprised 7 males and 5 females, with ages ranging from 22 to 65 years (mean, 49.6 years). According to the Neer fracture classification system, 9 cases were classified as type Ⅱb and 3 cases as type Ⅴ. The interval from injury to operation ranged from 2 to 6 days (mean, 3.9 days). After achieving anatomical reduction of the fracture, the novel locking plate was applied for internal fixation, accompanied by anatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligament. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and incision healing were meticulously documented. During follow-up, the radiographic examinations were taken to assess fracture healing, and the shoulder joint function was evaluated using the Constant-Murley score criteria. Results: All 12 operations were completed. The operation time ranged from 55 to 90 minutes (mean, 74 minutes), and intraoperative blood loss ranged from 50 to 100 mL (mean, 85 mL). All incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 6-18 months (mean, 11.6 months). At last follow-up, the radiographic examination demonstrated that all fractures had achieved bony union; the Constant-Murley score ranged from 92 to 96 (mean, 94.3), all rated as excellent. Conclusion: For Neer type Ⅱb and type Ⅴ distal clavicle fractures, the combination of the novel locking plate fixation and anatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligament provides reliable internal fixation, promotes fracture healing, and yields highly satisfactory effectiveness.
