1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The demographic development will result in an increase of up to 30 % of distal radius fractures. There are various therapy options but what is new? Conservative therapy: conservative therapy is reserved for stable fractures only. Osteosynthesis by K-wires: due to low biomechanical stability in older patients, insufficient functional and radiological results were achieved. External fixator: external fixators are used in compound and complex fractures and show better results than K-wire osteosynthesis. Angular stable plate osteosynthesis: with angular stable plates it is possible to achieve good results with complex fractures and they are currently the method of choice. Intramedullary osteosynthesis: intramedullary nails result in a faster functional improvement than angular stable plates but have limitations. New is that 90% of osteoporotic distal radial fractures are treated with angular stable plates which have shown good results in single study groups.
