Supracondylar Humerus Fractures: Classification Based Treatment Algorithms.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common fractures around the elbow in children between 4 and 10 years of age. The treatment of supracondylar humerus fractures can vary from conservative treatment to operative treatment depending on the fracture type. All around the world, the most commonly used classification system is the Wilkins-modified Gartland classification of supracondylar humerus fractures. Currently, the decision to operate or conserve the fracture is taken on basis of this classification system. Non-operative treatment for type I fractures and operative treatment for type III fractures have been well-established in literature. The management of type II supracondylar humerus fracture creates confusion in the minds of numerous orthopaedic surgeons around the world. We have tried addressing this using a classification-based treatment algorithm. Other classification systems like the AO classification, Lagrange and Rigault classification and Bahk classification with special reference to special fracture patterns that require attention and pre-op planning have also been mentioned. It is important to understand that operative management of each supracondylar humerus fracture is unique as regards fixation method and it is important to consider the fracture pattern before internal fixation.
