The importance of patient compliance in nonunion of forearm fracture.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2014. 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
introductionStudies on radius ulna shaft fractures are very important. Surgical treatment is generally administered due to the unstability caused by the dynamic effect of forearm muscles. Surgical technique, implant, osteoporosis, patient compliance can affect the surgical treatment and healing. PRESENTATION OF CASE: An 86-year-old female patient was admitted to emergency service with the complaint of protrusion of forearm implant from the skin. Physical examination revealed that 80° nonunion developed on the radial side. Therefore, protruded and exposed internal fixation materials were excised under axillary block. We used zoledronic acid as a treatment of osteoporosis with the value of -3.2 Dexa score. DISCUSSION: Complication rate is reported to be 25% in patients treated with plate fixation. Patient compliance is very crucial in forearm fractures as in all surgical procedures. Presence of comorbidities and socioeconomical status of the patient are important factors in fracture healing.
conclusionThis case emphasizes the importance of compliance of the patient to the follow-up after surgical treatment of forearm fracture.
