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

Extra-articular scapular fractures include those involving the coracoid process, the acromion, the scapular spine, and the inferior angle of the scapula. These injuries are uncommon, so they represent a therapeutic challenge. Historically, nonoperative treatment was the standard for these fracture types, although the outcomes were heterogeneous and often characterized by persistent pain, limited mobility, and scapulothoracic dyskinesis. Advances in imaging, surgical techniques, and implant quality have expanded surgical indications, demonstrating good medium- and long-term functional outcomes. In the current update article, the authors present the most recent literature on each of these scapular-fracture patterns and outline the current treatment recommendations.
