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 develop a new type of internal fixation device which can be used to treat the minor avulsion fracture of the medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, the base of the fifth metatarsal, and the ulnar styloid process, and investigate the reliability and effectiveness of the device through biomechanical test.

methodsEighty human's bone specimens with complete medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, the base of the fifth metatarsal, and the ulnar styloid process were selected and measured the anatomic indexes (the height, width, and thickness of medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, the base of the fifth metatarsal, and the ulnar styloid process). The CT three-dimensional reconstruction data of 200 healthy adults which including medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, the base of the fifth metatarsal, and the ulnar styloid process was also selected and measured the anatomic indexes by Mimics software. The plastic rod-hook plate was designed according to the measured results and prepared. Forty fresh porcine lower limb specimens were randomly divided into groups A and B (20 in each group), and 8 adult lower limb specimens including 4 left and 4 right were also randomly divided into groups A and B (4 in each group). All specimens were prepared for avulsion fracture of medial malleolus. Then, the fractures were fixed with plastic rod-hook plate in group A and wire anchor in group B. The load and axial torsion test of ankle joint were carried out by universal biomechanical testing machine.

resultsAccording to the anatomical characteristics, a plastic rod-hook plate was designed successfully. The biomechanical test results between animal and human specimens were consistent. There was a linear relationship between load and displacement in the ankle distal load test. The displacement when loaded to the maximum load was significantly lower in group A than in group B (

conclusionThe biomechanical properties of plastic rod-hook plate is obviously better than wire anchor, and the fixation of avulsion fracture with plastic rod-hook plate is easy to operate, which is expected to be used in the clinical treatment of minor avulsion fractures such as medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, base of the fifth metatarsal, and ulna styloid process.
