Review in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purposeThe section for the skeletal trauma and sport's injuries of the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES) appointed a task force group to reach a consensus among European countries on proximal humeral fractures. MATERIAL/

methodsThe task force group organized several consensus meetings until a paper with final recommendations was confirmed during the ESTES Executive Board meeting in Berlin on 25 October 2018.

conclusionThe Recommendations compare conservative and four possible operative treatment options (ORIF, nailing, hemi- and total reverse arthroplasty) and enable the smallest common denominator for the surgical treatment among ESTES members.
