Perinatal Femoral Fracture: A Ten-Year Observational Case Series Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundperinatal femoral fractures (PFF) are relative rare birth-related fractures. Among treatment options, Bryant traction reported satisfactory outcomes in PFF of children under 3 years of age. The aim of this study is to assess the risk factors, diagnosis, management, and outcome in the 10-year multicentric experiences of all newborns treated for PFF in Catania city hospitals.
methods15,628 children, hospitalized in four neonatal units, were retrospectively reviewed. The following data were collected: gender, birth weight, gestational age, presentation, mode delivery, and fracture type according to AO Pediatric Comprehensive Classification of Long Bone Fractures (PCCF). In each case, diagnosis was achieved after the clinical examination and X-Ray exam. Each patient underwent Bryant's skin traction of the affected limb, and was clinically followed for at least two years.
resultseight newborns were included in the study (five males). The average birth weight was 2.656 kg with a gestational age of 37.5 weeks; 4 cases were preterm birth; 5 patients had a cephalic presentation. According to the AO PCCF classification, three fractures were ranked 32-D/4.1 and five were 32-D/5.1. The entire cohort had an excellent outcome.
conclusionsprematurity, low birth weight, and caesarean section could be PFF risk factors. Bryant's skin traction is an effective option to achieve an excellent outcome.
