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

We report a very rare case of bipolar fracture with dislocation of the proximal phalanx or floating proximal phalanx of the toe. The literature has shown that closed reduction gives a lesser chance of success considering the inherent anatomy of the foot. We report a case of a 40-year-old male with an open injury to his right foot involving bipolar dislocation of the proximal phalanx of the third toe with extensor digitorum longus tendon injury and fracture of the neck of the fourth proximal phalanx of the right foot. With the realization that open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation are good options in patients with such a presentation, a prompt and accurate diagnosis with a treatment plan was made, which lead to clinical success.
