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 of the distal forearm are common in children. While we treat adults by trying to anatomically reconstruct the wrist joint, in children, fracture treatment is predominantly conservative due to the high correction potential of the distal growth plate. However, the presentation of young adults with post-traumatic wrist pain is not unusual.

objectivesDo pediatric distal forearm fractures really heal without consequences despite a large tolerance of axial deviation? MATERIALS AND

methodsReview of the literature, discussion of results and case report.

resultsPositive ulnar variance is the most common sequelae of pediatric distal forearm fractures. A positive variance of as little as >2 mm frequently causes ulnar-sided wrist pain and loss of motion, as is also shown in our case.

conclusionsCareful follow-up is advisable beyond fracture union following pediatric distal forearm fractures, especially after transphyseal osteosynthesis or growth plate involvement. Reconstructively corrective osteotomy of the ulna should be considered in patients with corresponding clinical symptoms, radiological findings and a positive ulnar variance of >2 mm.
