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

objectiveTo study the anteromedial cortical morphology of intertrochanteric fracture with CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique, and to provide a reference for further study of cortical buttress reduction theory.

methodsCT data of 75 patients with unstable intertrochanteric fracture with complete imaging data treated between January 2016 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 32 males and 43 females, aged 65-98 years (mean, 79.8 years). According to AO/Orthopaedic Trauma Association typing of 2018 edition, there were 46 cases of 31-A2.2 type and 29 cases of 31-A2.3 type. The image processing techniques such as segmentation modeling and virtual reset were performed. The thickness of the cortex at the anteromedial corner, the angle between the anterior wall fracture line and the coronal horizontal line, the angle between the medial wall fracture line and the sagittal horizontal line, the width of the cortex supported by the medial wall were measured, and the morphology of the cortical bone at the anteromedial corner were observed.

resultsThe angle between the anterior wall fracture line and the coronal horizontal line was 51.8-72.6°, with an average of 62.4°; the angle between the medial wall fracture line and the sagittal horizontal line ranged from 17.6° to -47.3°, with an average of -15.8°; the thickness of the cortex at the anteromedial angle was 3.6-6.1 mm, with an average of 4.4 mm; and the width of the cortex supported by the medial wall was 14.3-21.2 mm, with an average of 16.8 mm. The morphology of the cortical bone at the anteromedial corner had 3 forms: angle with femoral neck axis >90°, 57 cases (76.0%); perpendicular to femoral neck axis, 7 cases (9.3%); angle with femoral neck axis <90° (including reverse angle), 11 cases (14.7%).

conclusionCT three-dimensional reconstruction can clearly show the cortical morphology and the direction of the fracture line of intertrochanteric fracture, which can indicate the stability of the intertrochanteric fracture after reduction, and has a good guiding on the form of cortical buttress reduction.
