Unique Presentation of Refracture of the Distal Radius With Volar Plate Bending in an Elderly Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This case report presents the unique case of an 80-year-old woman who sustained a refracture of the distal radius following a fall, resulting in a rare instance of volar plate bending. The patient had undergone osteosynthesis with a titanium volar plate 2.5 years earlier, which had fully healed. Radiographs showed a 50° dorsal angulation of the previously implanted plate, necessitating surgical revision. A modified Henry approach was used to remove the bent plate and implant a new one. While literature documents two prior cases of volar plate bending, both involved older plate designs. This report is the first to describe bending in a modern titanium volar plate, making it a rare and significant contribution to current knowledge on implant failure.
