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

Objective: To investigate the surgical technique and effectiveness of volar locking plates for senile delayed distal radius fractures. Methods: Between October 2014 and September 2015, 25 cases of delayed distal radius fractures were treated by volar locking plates. There were 3 males and 22 females with an average age of 73 years (range, 65-87 years). Injury was caused by tumble in 19 cases and by traffic accident in 6 cases. All the cases had closed fracture. According to the AO classification, 10 cases were rated as type A2, 7 cases as type A3, 3 cases as type B3, and 5 cases as type C1. The manual reduction and plaster immobilization were performed in 18 cases first, but reduction failed; no treatment was given in 7 cases before surgery. The time from injury to surgery was from 33 to 126 days (mean, 61 days). Preoperatively, the volar tilting angle was (-16.0±3.1)°; the ulnar inclining angle was (10.8±7.0)°; the radial shortening was (11.2±3.6) mm; the wrist range of motion was (41.0±7.5)° in flexion and was (42.0±6.3)° in extension; and the grip strength was 33.0%±3.1% of normal side. Results: All incisions healed primarily, and no postoperative complication occurred. The patients were followed up 1-1.5 years (mean, 1.3 years). The X-ray films showed that fracture union was achieved in all the patients, with the mean healing time of 9.2 weeks (range, 8-12 weeks); the displacement of the articular surface was less than 1 mm. At last follow-up, the volar tilting angle was (13.1±3.2)°; the ulnar inclining angle was (21.9±4.6)°; the radial shortening was (2.0±1.1) mm; the wrist range of motion was (52.0±11.7)° in flexion and was (65.0±4.8)° in extension; and the grip strength was 84.0%±4.2% of normal side; all showed significant difference when compared with preoperative ones ( Conclusion: By the good design of the volar locking plate and the command of surgical techniques, good effectiveness can be achieved in the treatment of senile delayed distal radius fracture.
