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

Flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon rupture associated with a distal radius fracture is a rare entity. We report a case of a 48-year-old man who sustained a Colles-type distal radius fracture complicated by an FCR tendon rupture at the time of injury. The rupture was first identified intraoperatively during open reduction and internal fixation. Radiographs demonstrated a prominent volar radial third fragment along the anatomical course of the FCR tendon. Retrospective three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of preoperative CT images using soft-tissue settings clearly revealed discontinuity of the tendon. This case suggests that clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for FCR injury whenever a volarly protruding fragment is observed. Furthermore, 3D-CT reconstruction focusing on the tendon course provides a practical and accessible tool that may facilitate preoperative recognition of tendon discontinuity and improve surgical preparedness.
