Scaphoid waist fractures in the presence of carpal coalitions: a consistent biomechanical weak point?
Review in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2026. 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
Carpal coalitions may alter intercarpal kinematics and load transfer. Reported coalition-associated scaphoid fractures show an exclusive predilection for the scaphoid waist, raising the possibility of a non-random biomechanical mechanism with focal stress concentration. These injuries have been associated with delayed union and nonunion. This pattern may justify CT-based assessment and consideration of a lower threshold for early surgical stabilization, including percutaneous screw fixation even in selected nondisplaced waist fractures. However, the currently available evidence is limited to case reports and does not allow firm treatment recommendations. Awareness of coalition anatomy and careful follow-up may be reasonable.
