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

objectivesThis study aims to explore the clinical efficacy of applying a new reduction brace in the closed reduction of femoral shaft fracture.

methodsA total of 18 patients with femoral shaft fracture, who were admitted to the Bone Trauma Surgery, Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, from September 2015 to January 2017, were chosen. A novel reduction brace combined with closed reduction intramedullary nail insertion on the traction table adopted for the orthopedic surgery was taken for the fixation. Then, surgical time, bleeding amount, and postoperational fracture healing time were recorded.

resultsAll 18 patients with femoral shaft fracture successfully received closed reduction femoral nail with the application of the novel reduction brace. The follow-up period was 3-18 months, with an average of 12 months, and the femoral shaft fracture was well healed with good recovery of function.

conclusionsThe design of the closed reduction brace of the femoral shaft fracture was reasonable, simple, and convenient to use and has a short learning curve. Furthermore, it led to little trauma to these patients and fully played the advantages of minimally invasive therapy for femoral fractures.
