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

backgroundFractures of the distal forearm, especially fractures of the distal radius which are the most common fracture in humans, are of increasing socioeconomic relevance due to the increasing incidence and the increasing costs that are associated with the popularity of palmar plating.

objectivesRadiological imaging for diagnosis and follow-up are presented with special focus on new biomechanical fracture concepts such as the four-corner concept. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe basic literature and expert opinions are evaluated and discussed.

resultsIn intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, plain radiographs must be supplemented by computed tomography (CT). Direct CT arthrography allows not only analysis of the fracture pattern, but also detection of accompanying injuries of the carpus, especially the scapholunate ligament, and the ulnocarpal complex. The plain radiographs should also be analyzed for accompanying injuries. Therefore, both acquisition of the imaging data and their morphometrical analysis have to be standardized.

conclusionsIn addition to diagnosis and follow-up, radiological imaging plays a decisive role in the treatment of distal forearm fractures. CT and direct CT arthrography have become important tools in intra-articular distal radius fractures.
