Epidemiology and treatment of distal radius fractures: current concept based on fracture severity and not on age.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05332080 (FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER A TELEREHABILITATION PROGRAM IN PATIENTS WITH DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeA shift towards surgical treatment of distal radius fractures seems to be apparent. The purpose of the present study was to assess current epidemiological data, the fracture severity according to the AO classification and the changing trend in the treatment.
methodsThis study presents a retrospective review of 268 patients ≥ 18 years of age admitted to our level I trauma center with distal radius fractures between 2013 and 2015. The data were obtained from the hospital inpatient enquiry system and review of the radiological examinations.
resultsThe ratio between males and females was 87:181. The average age of the patients was 56.9 (18-99) years. A fall from standing position was the most common mechanism of injury. According to the AO classification, 43.3% were type A fractures, 13.1% type B, and 43.7% type C. As the intensity of the injury mechanism increased, the percentage of type C fractures also increased. A total of 61.9% of patients underwent surgery with open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plates used as the preferred surgical treatment. Fracture severity correlated well with surgical decision. Elderly patients were just as likely to get surgical treatment as adult patients.
conclusionsOur findings confirmed the increasing popularity of surgical intervention with open reduction and internal fixation. Contrary to previous studies, the fracture type profile showed an equal proportion of type A and C fractures and the indication for surgical treatment correlated with fracture severity and not age.
