Ulnar nerve morbidity as a long-term complication of pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture.
Article in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundSupracondylar humeral fractures are common in children. We studied long-term ulnar nerve symptoms secondary to these fractures and analyzed the treatment for ulnar neuropathy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe cohort included 91 patients with a supracondylar humeral fracture in childhood, on average 12 years previously, in the geographic catchment area. All the cases were reexamined in regard to ulnar nerve morbidity. Cases with secondary ulnar neuropathy were treated nonoperatively and operatively.
resultsUlnar neuropathy was present in four cases (4.4 %). They all had suffered from a dislocated fracture, and they had been operated primarily. Another three patients had slight ulnar nerve symptoms. Hence, the total prevalence of secondary ulnar nerve morbidity was 7.7 %. A jumping nerve was seen in 9.9 %; 51.6 % had a diminished axial angle.
conclusionsWe report a defined pattern of long-term ulnar nerve morbidity after pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture. The prevalence of neuropathy is alarming in the young population (<25 years of age).
