Tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing and reduction device assistance.

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 assess the outcomes of a newly invented reduction device on assisting reduction of intramedullary nailing (IMN) in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures.
methodsFrom January 2015 to December 2018, data of patients with tibial shaft fractures treated with IMN were reviewed. In total, 42 patients underwent treatment with the new reduction device (group A) and 56 underwent treatment using a traditional reduction technique (group B). Data related to the closed reduction rate, surgical time, blood loss, number of fluoroscopies, number of surgeons, and number of complications were also reviewed. Fracture healing was assessed using radiographs at each follow-up, and the functional outcome (AOFAS score) was evaluated at the final follow-up.
resultsThe two treatment groups were evenly matched with respect to age, sex, fracture grade, and time to surgery. The average surgical time, blood loss, number of fluoroscopies, and number of surgeons in group A were all lesser than those in group B (P < 0.05). The closed reduction rate in group A was higher than those in group B (P < 0.05). The fracture healing time, AOFAS score, and complication rate were not significantly different (P > 0.05) between the two groups.
conclusionThe new reduction device could effectively achieve and maintain the reduction of tibia shaft fractures in a minimally invasive fashion.
