How to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction and fixation of the wrist and ankle in clinical practice: a Delphi consensus.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
methodA Delphi study was conducted to obtain consensus on the most important criteria for the radiological evaluation of the reduction and fixation of the wrist and ankle. The Delphi study consisted of a bipartite online questionnaire, focusing on the interpretation of radiographs and CT scans of the wrist and the ankle. Questions addressed imaging techniques, aspects of the anatomy and fracture reduction and fixation. Agreement was expressed as the percentage of respondents with similar answers. Consensus was defined as an agreement of at least 90%.
resultsIn three Delphi rounds, respectively, 64, 74 and 62 specialists, consisting of radiologists, trauma and orthopaedic surgeons from the Netherlands responded. After three Delphi rounds, consensus was reached for three out of 14 (21%) imaging techniques proposed, 11 out of the 13 (85%) anatomical aspects and 13 of the 22 (59%) items for the fracture reduction and fixation. This Delphi consensus differs from existing scoring protocols in terms of the greater number of anatomical aspects and aspects of fracture fixation requiring evaluation and is more suitable in clinical practice due to a lower emphasis on measurements.
