Delayed mobilization in distal humerus fractures managed with plating.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The optimal timing of postoperative mobilization following surgical fixation of distal humerus fractures remains controversial, particularly in complex intra-articular fractures where concerns regarding fixation stability and elbow stiffness influence rehabilitation strategies. Distal humerus fractures are complex injuries requiring meticulous surgical management to achieve optimal outcomes. This prospective study evaluated 31 patients with closed distal humerus fractures (AO Type 13-C) treated with pre-contoured locking plates, assessing functional recovery using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) over a 6-month follow-up. The mean patient age was 37.5 years, with road traffic accidents being the predominant cause of fracture. MEPS scores improved significantly from 45.97 at 2 weeks to 72.58 at 6 months, with nearly half of the patients achieving good functional results. Common complications included stiffness, screw prominence, nerve compression and infection. Thus, we show that delayed mobilization following bi-columnar plating provides satisfactory outcomes in distal humerus fractures.
