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

backgroundFractures in childhood can result in malalignment and/or leg shortening due to insufficient reduction, malunion or injury to the growth plate.

objectiveDifferent types of posttraumatic deformities around the knee as well as the diagnostic approach and correction are discussed. MATERIAL AND

methodsWhile deformities without shortening can often be corrected during surgery with internal fixation, limb shortening with or without malalignment has to be treated with external fixation or internal lengthening nails.

resultsModern six-axis external fixators enable simultaneous lengthening and axial correction in all planes in patients from childhood onwards. A correction using lengthening nails is possible at the end of growth or if the physis has already been closed by trauma.

conclusionPrecise analysis of the deformity and leg length discrepancy is necessary to select the best point in time and the right surgical procedure and hardware for correction.
