ReviewJournal of orthopaedics
Treatment of fragility ankle fractures using hindfoot nail, systemic review.
Review in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
With an aging population, the prevalence of fragility ankle fractures is rising. The surgical management of these injuries is challenging and associated with high rates of complications. An extensive literature review (inception of data until September 2019) was undertaken to locate previous studies that have addressed the same topic. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The post-operative Olerud and Molander scores were comparable/slightly lower than pre-injury scores. Bony union was achieved in 90.3%-100% of cases. Hindfoot nails, when used to treat fragility ankle fractures, can facilitate early rehabilitation and restoration of function among elderly osteoporotic patients.
