Injury characteristics and management of orthopaedic trauma in refugee children.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeSeveral factors affect injury types in childhood. The aim of the study was to evaluate the musculoskeletal injury types, treatment modalities, and demographic characteristics of refugee children and to reveal the differences from native children.
methodsA total of 1297 patients (897 females, 400 males) treated in our clinic between January 2014 and January 2019 were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 8.9 ± 5.1 in refugees and 7.5 ± 4.6 in the native group (range, 0-18 years). The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, mechanism of injury, location and type of fracture, presence of accompanying injuries, surgical technique, complications, and treatment modalities.
resultsThe trauma mechanism differed significantly between the groups, high-energy traumas such as falling from a height, fight/assault injury, gunshot injury, and work injury were found more frequently in the refugee group (p = 0.001). The rates of CRIF, ORIF, graft/flap surgery, and hospitalization time were observed to be significantly higher in the refugee group (p = 0.013). No significant difference was observed between groups in terms of demographic distribution, injury location, and complications.
conclusionThis population-based, cross-sectional study emphasizes that the refugee children have different injury mechanisms. Improved living conditions may reduce musculoskeletal injury in this population.
