Ultrasonography-guided reduction of pediatric radial neck fractures.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundTreatment of displaced and angulated radial neck fractures in children is controversial and challenging. Numerous studies have been conducted regarding treatment algorithms and surgical techniques that use fluoroscopy. However, ultrasonography (US)-guided reduction of pediatric radial neck fractures has not been reported yet. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of US-guided reduction and fixation of radial neck fractures in children.
methodsAmong 28 cases of radial neck fracture from 2014 to 2016, 12 were classified as type III or IV according to the Judet classification. All 12 patients underwent US-guided reduction and percutaneous fixation with Kirschner wire and follow-up for more than 6 months. US was used primarily to monitor the angulation and reduction of the radial neck. Fluoroscopy was applied to confirm the fixation with Kirschner wire. Dose area product (DAP; mGy/cm
resultsOf the patients, 4 were boys and 8 were girls, with a mean age of 7.7 years (range, 5-11 years). Judet type III fractures accounted for 83% of all injuries. The mean preoperative radial angulation was 62.5° (range: 46°-76°). The mean postoperative radial angulation was 5.6° (range: 2°-9°). The mean fluoroscopy time was 31 s (range: 10-73 s), and the mean DAP was 10.7 mGy/cm
conclusionsUS-guided reduction and percutaneous fixation is safe and reliable option to treat displaced radial neck fractures in children.
