Management of long bone fractures in patients with cerebral fat embolism syndrome.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare complication associated with long bone fractures. Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for treating patients with these injuries and early surgical intervention can prevent FES. However, there is a paucity of data on managing these patients once FES has developed. The purpose of this study is to present 3 unique cases of polytrauma patients with long bone fractures who underwent fixation with Taylor Spatial Frame, open reduction and internal fixation, or submuscular plating for treatment of these injuries. All 3 patients had complete cognitive and physical recovery.
