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

purposeWe described a morphological classification and grading system for volar Barton fractures.

methodsWe divided these fractures into four types: typical Barton, ulna Barton, radial Barton, comminuted Barton. Moreover, we graded the fractures into two degrees: simple split and split-depression. We retrospectively reviewed all wrist radiographs showing Barton fractures in our hospital between January 2013 and January 2015. We identified 100 cases whose records and radiographs were reviewed and included 36 men and 64 women with a mean age of 50 years (15-78). The morphological classification was applied to the 100 cases by three reviewers on two occasions using the Kappa statistic.

resultsThe inter- and intra-observer reliability of the morphological classification was 0.71-0.80 and 0.68-0.88, respectively. The distribution of typical, ulna, radial and comminuted Barton type fractures was 69 %, 7 %, 5 % and 19 %, respectively. Grade 2 fractures accounted for 49 % in our series.

conclusionsThis classification and grading system of Barton fractures is likely to have implications in terms of pathophysiology and surgical technique.
