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

Infected non-union of subtrochanteric fractures is challenging to treat. We experienced two cases and had good clinical results. Treatment strategy comprised debridement without hesitation after considering later limb lengthening; insertion of the proximal lateral bone edge spike into the distal bone marrow cavity until achieving medial-side bony contact and holding good alignment to compensate for the medial-side bone loss, according to the modified Dimon method; and internal fixation with an angled plate in the decubitus position. The angle of the angled plate should be directed toward the abundant cancellous bone using preoperative computed tomography. Residual limb shortening after ORIF was improved by limb lengthening.
