History of traction for treatment of lower limb fractures.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The last two hundred years have seen the development of different systems of traction with effective methods of applying traction to the foot or to the leg for the treatment of fractures of the femur. The success of these methods has been tested during many wars by clinical evaluations but also by means of x-rays since the beginning of the twentieth century. Because of their advantages, these methods of traction were very frequent during the first part of the twentieth century. Crosby, Smith, Buck, Hodgen, Steinmann, Codivilla, Kirschner, and Pearson are names recurring daily on our fracture wards. Their concern for the welfare of their patients led to substantial improvements in the treatment of all patients with fractures.
