Unusual presentation of congenital radioulnar synostosis with osteoporosis, fragility fracture and nonunion: A case report and review of literature.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCongenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) is a rare deformity of the upper extremity. It is characterized by loss of rotation of the involved forearm and functional limitations in daily activities. No studies on CRUS with osteoporosis have been reported to date, and osteoporosis is usually recognized as an important dimension of genetic disorder in children. We discuss the possible relationship among this disorder, osteoporosis and fracture nonunion, investigate the strict surgical indications and recommended treatments. CASE SUMMARY: A 14-year-old male patient with bilateral CRUS with osteoporosis, fragility fracture and nonunion of fractures in ulna and radius presented our institution for further treatment, complaining of limitation in rotation. The bone mineral density of the hip and lumbar spine was 0.687 g/cm
conclusionSurgical indications for CRUS vary from person to person. Surgery should not be the first choice of treatment, and physiotherapy is not inferior to surgical treatment.
