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

backgroundThe aim of our study was to compare the clinical effect of short dynamic hip screw (DHS) combined with fibula bone graft and short DHS combined with cannulated screws (CS) on the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young adults.

methodsThirty-five Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture patients between January 2014 and May 2019 were divided into two groups: group A (patients treated with DHS combined with fibula bone graft) and group B (patient treated with DHS combined with CS). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time and complication of two groups were recorded.

resultsThere were no significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss in two groups. Fracture healing time in group A (5.28±1.07) was significantly shorter than group B (7.31±1.65). The rate of fracture nonunion (0), femoral head necrosis (0) and withdrawal rate (0) in group A were significantly lower than that in group B (4, 23.5) (4, 23.5) (6, 35.3) (P<0.01). Postoperative Harris function score in group A (95.44±2.57) was higher than group B (87.82±7.79) (P<0.01).

conclusionsDHS combined with fibula bone graft can shorten the healing time of fracture, reduce the rate of bone nonunion and femoral head necrosis, and provide a new treatment method for Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture in young adults.
