Distal Humerus Fracture in a 28-Year-Old Male with Achondroplasia Treated with Reconstruction Plate: Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Achondroplasia, the most common skeletal dysplasia, presents unique challenges in fracture management due to rhizomelic shortening and abnormal bone geometry. This case report details the surgical management of a distal humerus fracture in an adult with achondroplasia using dual reconstruction plate fixation. Case Report: A 28-year-old right-hand-dominant male with achondroplasia sustained a closed, comminuted intra-articular distal humerus fracture (AO/OTA type C3) after a motor vehicle accident. Following thorough evaluation and preoperative planning, the fracture was addressed surgically through a posterior approach with chevron olecranon osteotomy. Dual 3.5-mm reconstruction plates were contoured and applied orthogonally. Early range-of-motion exercises commenced 72 h postoperatively. At 6 months, the patient achieved 10-110° elbow flexion-extension, 70° pronation/supination, and a Mayo Elbow Performance Score of 85 ("good"). Union was radiologically confirmed at 14 weeks. Conclusion: Reconstruction plate osteosynthesis with meticulous surgical technique yields a stable fixation, union, and good functional recovery in distal humerus fractures with underlying achondroplasia.
