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

objectiveAnatomical open reduction and internal fixation using screw/plate osteosynthesis. INDICATIONS: Extra-articular fractures with clinically evident malrotation of the finger, comminution fracture and/or loss of length, which cannot be treated non-operatively; fracture instability; intra-articular fracture with step off greater than 1 mm, which cannot be treated percutaneously but openly using plate/screw osteosythesis; failure of conservative treatment. CONTRAINDICATIONS: General operative limitations. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Dorsal, mediolateral, or palmar approach, temporary reduction using pincers or optional Kirschner wires; screw/plate osteosynthesis for internal fixation. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Immediate mobilization facilitated by buddy loops for the first 4-6 weeks, prevention of edema using elastic dressing, physiotherapy.

resultsOpen reduction and internal fixation using screw/plate osteosynthesis provides good results in combination with immediate mobilization. Nevertheless, adhesion of tendons or capsule tissue with restriction of range of motion is observed.
