Analysis of the effectiveness of arthroscopic cannulated screw fixation for coracoid process fractures.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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 effectiveness of minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment for coracoid process fractures. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 17 patients with coracoid process fractures treated between January 2020 and October 2025, comprising 8 patients managed with shoulder arthroscopy (Arthroscopy group) and 9 patients treated via open surgery (Open group). Preoperative baseline characteristics, including gender, age, body mass index(BMI),injury mechanism, injury type, Eyres classification, and concomitant rotator cuff injuries, showed no significant differences between groups ( Results: The arthroscopy group demonstrated significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss and shorter postoperative hospitalization compared to the open group ( Conclusion: Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopic minimally invasive treatment of coracoid process fractures achieves comparable accuracy in screw placement, operative duration, and fracture healing time. The arthroscopic approach, however, results in less intraoperative bleeding and a shorter postoperative hospital stay. It also leads to more pronounced improvements in postoperative pain and shoulder function. Furthermore, it enables the concurrent treatment of associated shoulder pathologies, such as rotator cuff injury, acromial impingement, or glenohumeral joint lesions.
