Distal forearm fractures in New Zealand children: annual rates in a geographically defined area.
Article in The New Zealand medical journal, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
aimsTo estimate the annual incidence of distal forearm fractures in New Zealand children and to describe circumstances associated with this fracture.
methodsThe ages and dates of fracture of all girls and boys aged three to fifteen years with distal forearm fractures treated at Fracture Clinic, Dunedin Public Hospital in one calendar year were recorded.
resultsThe age-standardised annual incidence rates for Dunedin girls and boys aged three to fifteen years were 10.4 per 1000 (95% CI 8.3-12.4 per 1000), and 10.4 per 1000 (95% CI 8.3-12.6 per 1000), respectively. The peak incidence in girls was observed at ten years of age (23.5 fractures per 1000) and for boys at thirteen years of age (25.3 fractures per 1000). Extrapolation of these rates to all New Zealand suggest that in children aged three to fifteen years, 3659 (95% CI 2906-4413) distal forearm fractures occur per year in girls, and 3845 (95% CI 3087-4603) per year in boys, representing about 20 fractures per day. Many of the fractures for the girls and boys resulted from apparently slight trauma (62.2% and 61.6%, respectively).
conclusionsDistal forearm fractures are very common events in New Zealand children and adolescents, and are usually caused by apparently slight trauma.
