POSTOPERATIVE STABILITY AFTER VOLAR LOCKING PLATE IN DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objective: To evaluate the correction and maintenance of radiographic parameters-volar tilt (VT), radial inclination (RI), and radial height (RH)-from the preoperative period to outpatient discharge in distal radius fractures treated with a volar locking plate (VLP), stratified by AO/OTA, Fernandez, and IDEAL classifications. Methods: Retrospective analytical case series including 135 fractures operated on between January 2023 and August 2024. Standard anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were obtained at three time points: preoperative (PRE), immediate postoperative (IPO), and outpatient discharge (POT). Two independent, mutually blinded raters classified the fractures and measured VT, RI, and RH. The study focused on radiographic outcomes. Results: Significant improvements in VT, RI, and RH were observed from PRE→IPO and PRE→POT (p<0.001). Differences from IPO→POT were small and not significant (p>0.05), indicating maintenance of parameters until discharge. The same pattern was seen in higher-complexity subgroups (AO type C, IDEAL 3, and Fernandez 5). Conclusion: VLP fixation provided effective initial correction and radiographic maintenance up to discharge in distal radius fractures, particularly in complex patterns.
