[Treatment of proximal humeral fractures in Germany: Influence of the level of hospital care and the frequency of treatment].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundVarious treatment options exist for displaced proximal humeral fractures. The impact of the level of hospital care and frequency of treatment on current treatment regimens in Germany was analyzed. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 576 hospitals were included. The survey covered questions on frequency, diagnostics, classification, therapy, complications, and clinical scenarios.
resultsIn all, 48% of the hospitals returned the questionnaire: 73% treat more than 60% of the fractures surgically, mainly with angle-stable implants. The angle-stable plate is the treatment of choice for young patients, but older patients are treated using other treatment options. Problems and complications included malreduction, secondary displacement, screw perforation, avascular necrosis, and impingement. According to treatment indication, implant choice, and common complications, no significant differences between the level of hospital care and frequency of treatment were observed.
conclusionIndependent of the level of hospital care and frequency of treatment, there is a trend for head-preserving angular-stable surgery with a homogenous level of treatment in Germany.
