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
Femoral fractures in childhood are rare and are usually the result of severe trauma. Conservative treatment (overhead extension, hip spica cast) can be used in children up to 3 years of age and beyond that elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is the method of choice. The prognosis is very good if the surgical technique is adequate. In adolescents > 50 kg in body weight solid nails implanted via the greater trochanter are an alternative (adolescent lateral femoral nail, ALFN). External fixators and plate osteosynthesis are indicated in special situations. Femoral neck fractures are very seldom seen in this age group. Besides Kirschner (K)-wires and screw osteosynthesis a special pediatric hip plate is available in this situation. In the distal metaphysis mostly stable fractures occur in disabled children, which can usually be treated conservatively. In addition, pathological fractures occur in juvenile bone cysts and complex injuries in adolescents, which need stabilization by descending ESIN or with plates. At the distal growth plate relevant growth disturbances are possible.
