Osteosynthesis of an acromion fracture using a proximal clavicle plate: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Displaced acromion fractures are commonly treated surgically; however, no implants have been specifically designed for this fracture type. Although various plates have been used, fixation failure and implant-related irritation remain concerns. We report a case of acromion fracture fixation using a proximal clavicle plate. A 77-year-old man presented with right shoulder pain after a fall. Computed tomography revealed an Ogawa type III acromion fracture extending to the spinoglenoid notch. Through a posterior approach along the scapular spine, the fracture was anatomically reduced and fixed with a proximal clavicle locking plate. Four screws, including two longer than 30 mm, were inserted medially to the fracture site, and six screws were inserted laterally. Neither fixation failure nor implant-related pain occurred, and complete bone union was achieved. Fixation with a proximal clavicle plate may represent a useful treatment option for acromion fractures, particularly in cases with highly variable acromial and scapular spine anatomy.
