A novel reduction device for the minimally invasive treatment of femoral shaft fractures.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveIn this study, a new type of reduction device for femoral shaft fractures was developed and designed. The reduction procedure was also standardized and is expected to be useful in clinical practice.
methodsA bone traction retractor that consisted of a special traction needle, a resistant sleeve, a crossbar and an arc-adjusting bar was designed. Forty-eight patients (32 males and 16 females, mean age 33.21±7.03 years old) with femoral shaft fractures treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected. According to the AO classification, there were 15 patients with type A, 24 patients with type B and 9 patients with type C fractures. All patients were treated with transverse bone traction for closed reduction of femoral shaft fractures and femoral reconstruction with intramedullary nails for final fixation. The injured side, preoperative delay time, reduction and operative times, operative blood loss, drilling frequency, number of open reduction cases, hospitalization days, fracture healing time, postoperative HSS function score and complications were recorded.
resultsAll 48 patients were treated with transverse bone traction using our novel device to obtain reduction. The average time needed for reduction was 19.98±4.66 min. The operating time was 60-100 min, with an average of 78.65±16.81 min, and the average intraoperative blood loss was 131.91±30.22 ml. Open reduction was performed in 8 patients: 1 patient in the experimental group and 7 patients in the control group. The average hospitalization days was 7.78±2.81 days, the fracture healing time was 10 to 15 weeks, with an average of 12.44±2.63 weeks, and the postoperative HSS score was 80-95 points, with an average of 86.52±6.03 points. None of the patients had coxa vara, nonunion, internal fixation failure, infection, nerve injury, limb length discrepancy or other complications.
conclusionIn this study, the transverse bone traction reduction technique and the design of a proprietary reduction device system were proposed, with high clinical application. The transverse bone traction reduction technique has the advantages of simple operation, reliable reduction and limited intraoperative fluoroscopy in the minimally invasive treatment of femoral shaft fractures.
