Paediatric lateral humeral condylar fracture outcomes at twelve years follow-up as compared with age and sex matched paired controls.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionLateral humeral condylar fractures are the second most common elbow fractures in children. We present the long-term clinical and radiographic results. MATERIAL AND
methodsAll children (<16 years) in the geographic catchment area with lateral condylar fracture were asked to participate and 32 (76.2%) patients enrolled. Clinical and functional results are compared with randomly selected but age and sex matched normal controls at 12.4 years (range 10.6 to 16.0).
resultsUnsatisfactory clinical outcomes were found in 40.6% of the fracture cases vs. 6.3% controls (P = 0.003), according to Flynn's criteria. Flexion-extension range of motion was decreased >5° in 13 cases (40.6%) and in four controls (12.5%, P = 0.013). One in four (N = 8, 25%) of the cases showed cubitus varus >5° and 15.7% (N = 5) had cubitus valgus >5°, compared to one cubitus valgus (3.1%) in controls (P = 0.002).
conclusionThe majority of the adolescent and young adult patients (59.4%) with a previous paediatric lateral humeral condylar fracture had recovered well and showed good or excellent overall outcomes according to Flynn's criteria for elbow assessment after a mean of 12.4 years post-injury. Long-term sequelae was unchanged regardless of treatment.
