Spiral Humeral Fracture Sustained During an Arm-Wrestling Match: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Humeral fractures are relatively uncommon, with spiral patterns typically associated with torsional forces. Arm wrestling is an activity that can lead to humeral shaft fractures. This report presents the case of a 25-year-old male who sustained a spiral fracture of the right humerus during an arm-wrestling match. Radiographic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis, and the injury was successfully managed with closed reduction followed by immobilization using a posterior long arm splint. This case underscores the need to consider atypical mechanisms of injury, such as arm wrestling, when evaluating humeral fractures. Additionally, it supports the efficacy of conservative, non-operative management in young, otherwise healthy patients with isolated humeral fractures.
