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 the case of a 28-year-old man who developed nonunion with complex deformity after treatment of a distal femoral fracture with an antegrade femoral nail. The resulting deformity was as follows: 10° varus, 21° external torsion, 1.8 cm of foreshortening and translation malalignment. After resection of the pseudarthrosis, a retrograde segmental transport nail was implanted. During the same surgical procedure, acute internal torsion, valgization and lengthening correction was performed. The segment transport was performed using a magnetically driven internal transport nail. Seven months after surgery, bony consolidation of the distraction section and the docking site was observed. The leg axis was straight and the rotational movement ranges of the knee and hip corresponded the dimensions of the contralateral side.
