Treatment of displaced radial neck fractures under ultrasonographic guidance in children.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of reduction under ultrasonographic (US) guidance with Kirschner wires (K-wires) and fixation with elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESINs) in the treatment of radial neck fractures (RNFs).
methodsThis retrospective study included 50 children treated for Judet types III and IV RNFs at our hospital from September 2015 to November 2018. Patients were divided into two groups: group A (without US) and group B (with US). Group A patients were treated using the Métaizeau technique; one K-wire was used for reduction under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy. Group B patients were treated using the same technique, but under the guidance of US. Post-operative radiographs, elbow function, and complications were analyzed.
resultsAll patients were followed up over a period of 12 months. Five patients in group A had posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) injury, whereas no patient in group B had PIN injury (p = 0.016). The use of US guidance resulted in lower radiation exposure and shorter operation time. According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Index, there was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.814), including post-operative complications (radial head necrosis, fracture displacement, or stiffness).
conclusionUS guidance during surgery is feasible to treat Judet type III and IV RNFs. US guidance can significantly reduce X-ray radiation exposure and the risk of PIN injury.
