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: This study aimed to assess the efficiency and safety of minimally invasive treatment for die-punch fractures using X-ray parameters. Methods: From May 2020 to May 2022, 32 patients (32 wrists; minimally invasive group) underwent percutaneous bony distraction, followed by external fixation. For comparison, we retrospectively reviewed another 35 patients (35 wrists; plating group) who underwent open reduction and internal fixation with plate and crew systems. Wrist movement was assessed. X-ray parameters and wrist pain were assessed. Wrist function was assessed using the Mayo Wrist Score. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the Short Assessment of Patient Satisfaction. Results: The mean age of the minimally invasive group was 38.6±12.3 years (range, 24-52 years). There were types B3 (n=11), C1 (n=10), C2 (n=8), and C3 (n=3). Bone healing achieved in all patients after 5.8±1.6 weeks. The mean age of the plating group was 37.1±13.2 years (range, 27-50 years). There were types B3 (n=13), C1 (n=9), C2 (n=9), and C3 (n=4). Bone healing achieved in all patients after 6.3±1.6 weeks. Two years after surgery, there were significant differences in radial height (12.1±2.6 mm Conclusion: When treating die-punch fracture of distal radius, directly lifting the collapsed fragments through percutaneous bone distraction can effectively achieve reduction. The carpal bones can be used as a template to restore the alignment of the articular surface of the distal radius. External fixation can prevent re-collapse of the radius. The treatment can be an alternative technique, in addition to open reduction and plating.
