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

introductionChildren may present to an orthopaedic surgeon with congenital bone diseases, nutritional disorders like rickets, infective or traumatic due to fall etc of bones and joints.

aimTo know the percentage, common orthopaedic problems and demographic profile of paediatric orthopaedic problem in patients attending the orthopaedic OPD of NEIGRIHMS. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe prospective study was conducted for the duration of one year from May'2012-May'2013 in the Department of Orthopaedics in North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), Shillong, India.

resultsIn our study majority of the patients were in the age group of 11-15 y (37.4%), followed by the group of 0-5 y (25.6%). Majority of the paediatric orthopaedic patients came from the group of Rs.10,000/- to 30,000/- monthly income families (56.2%). The study showed that in majority (51.6%) of the cases trauma was the major cause for bringing the child to the medical center. Male children were most commonly affected, with playing as the most common mode of injury especially outdoor (60.3%) and fractures especially of upper limb were the most common form of presentation.

conclusionOur study here has given the bird's eye view of various pediatric orthopedic disorders as may be found in a tertiary health care setting. This may help in formulating training modules for the medical students in the subspecialty of pediatric orthopedics. However, more community based cross-sectional studies may be required to be undertaken to determine the prevalence & incidence of the various disorders found in our patients.
