[Fractures of the ankle joint in elderly patients].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 number of ankle fractures in elderly patients is increasing. The aim of treatment of ankle fractures in the elderly is to guarantee a possible unlimited autonomy and quality of life for patients. This is achieved by minimization of the complications and impairments after ankle joint fractures. Decisive for the further course is the initial treatment. The results are essentially determined by the soft tissue management, reduction and stable osteosynthesis; however, an orthogeriatric co-management with the implementation of treatment paths and standard operating procedures is recommended. The advantages of an interdisciplinary cooperation of trauma surgeons and geriatricians are obvious in this situation.
