Distal Radius Fracture Pattern Correlates with Pronator Quadratus Injury Severity.
Article in Journal of wrist surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if the distal radius fracture pattern is associated with the degree of pronator quadratus (PQ) injury in distal radius fractures that underwent open reduction internal fixation. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of patients with distal radius fractures who underwent open reduction internal fixation at a single institution through a standard volar approach was performed, yielding 148 patients. The extent of PQ injury was graded for each fracture intraoperatively (type 1: intact PQ with no visible muscle damage, type 2: transverse tear through the muscle at the level of the fracture site, and type 3: muscle damage and tears in multiple planes). The fractures were classified according to the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) classification of distal radius fractures. Thirty-seven patients with an intact PQ (type 1) were compared with 111 patients with an injured PQ (types 2 and 3). Results: Partial-articular fractures were associated with less severe PQ injury (type 1 PQ injury: partial-articular 50.0%, extra-articular 25.0%, complete-articular 21.3%, Conclusion: Distal radius fracture angulation, OTA fracture classification, and millimeters of dorsal translation correlate with the degree of PQ injury. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
