The Incidence and Risk Factors for Volar Shear Distal Radius Fractures at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

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
Purpose: The purpose was to determine the incidence of volar shear distal radius fractures at a level 1 trauma center and identify risk factors for this fracture pattern. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of all patients who presented to a level 1 trauma center with a distal radius fracture over a 2-year span was performed. Volar shear distal radius fractures can be characterized into two distinct types, partial articular and complete articular. A total of 35 patients with partial articular or complete articular volar shear distal radius fractures were compared with 377 patients who had other types of distal radius fractures. In a second analysis, 17 patients with partial articular volar shear distal radius fractures (AO Type B3) were compared with 395 patients who had other types of distal radius fractures (AO Types A, B1/2, and C). The cohorts were compared for differences in patient demographics and injury mechanism. A multivariate analysis identified significant risk factors for partial articular volar shear distal radius fractures. Results: The incidence of volar shear distal radius fractures was 8.5% (35/412). Patients with volar shear distal radius fractures were younger (40.1 versus 51.5 years, Conclusion: High energy mechanisms of injury and younger age are significant risk factors for volar shear distal radius fractures. Level of Evidence: Level III, Case Control Study.
