Open reduction and plate fixation versus sling in treatment of mid-shaft fractures of clavicle: A prospective randomized study protocol.
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. 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
backgroundFor this prospective randomized clinical trial, it is implemented for the comparison of the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation versus the sling treatment for mid-shaft clavicle fractures.
methodsWe will evaluate the eligible patients diagnosed with the mid-shaft clavicle fractures in our hospital from December 2020 to December 2021. The outcomes acquired were reported in accordance with the guidelines of Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Approval for this prospective randomized clinical trial was obtained from the institution alethics review committee of Wuzhong People's Hospital. The criteria for inclusion included: one third of clavicle fracture with at least 1 axial width displacement (Robinson type 2B2 or 2B1); agreed to take part in our research; over 18 years of age; patients with isolated clavicle fracture. While the criteria for exclusion contained: the medial or lateral segment clavicle fracture; open fracture; injuries related to neurovascular; over 21 days of changes from accident. The primary outcome was described as the evidence of nonunion at 1 year, which was defined as the intact bone bridge without X-ray fracture after more than 6 months. The secondary outcomes included the function of arm, overall health, adverse events, the satisfaction related to appearance, and pain.
conclusionsIt was hypothesized that in the case of clavicular comminuted mid-shaft fracture, for the open reduction and internal fixation, its nonunion rate was lower and satisfaction rate was higher, although there were a variety of complications.
trial registrationThis study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6295).
