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

backgroundAdequate interpretation of radiographs of injured children and adolescents is key for appropriate treatment. For the purposes of structuring in-hospital education and training, conventional radiographs obtained in the emergency department (ED) should be analyzed. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 10,232 radiographs of children and adolescents (0-17 years old) were analyzed retrospectively. Data was analyzed according to sex, age, time, radiograph, and type of insurance.

resultsThe male to female ratio was 3:2. In all, 76% of all radiographs were processed during on-call duty hours. Radiographs of the ankle were ordered most at a rate of 11%. Radiographs of the skull, wrist, finger, and ankle stood out from the sum of all radiographs and together accounted for 40%.

conclusionRadiographs of injured children are analyzed predominantly during on-call duty hours. Frequently mandated radiographs should be diagnosed accurately and standard injuries should be well known. Particular attention should be directed to the typical injury patterns of the ankle joint.
