Antiglide Plate vs Horizontally Oriented Parallel Screws in Vertical Shear Medial Malleolus Fracture.
Article in Strategies in trauma and limb reconstruction. 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
Background: Vertical shear medial malleolus fracture is less common than transverse. A plurality of methods is used for fixation, including lag screws, buttress plating, neutralisation plating with screws, and antiglide plating. But none of them has been proved to be the optimal choice. The study aimed to evaluate the clinical and functional findings and complications that might occur after vertical shear medial malleolus fracture fixation using either an antiglide plate or horizontally placed parallel screws oriented perpendicular to the fracture line. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort investigation included 56 cases with vertical shear medial malleolus fractures. The individuals were categorised into two divisions based on the fixation methods used: Antigliding plate (25 cases) or screws (31 cases). The median age in the antiglide plate division was 34 years (IQR: 23-50 years), while in the screws category, it was 38 years (IQR: 29.5-48 years). Functional outcomes were evaluated using the AOFAS score. Results: Operative time and incision length were substantially shorter in the screws category compared to the antiglide plate division ( Conclusion: In this type of ankle injury, the use of an antiglide plate or screws can provide nearly equal clinical and radiological outcomes, but with longer operative time and incision length towards the antiglide plate.
