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

objectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of the nose ring drain (NRD) technique combined with Ilizarov circular external fixation in treatment of Gustilo ⅢA Pilon fracture.

methodsBetween March 2017 and December 2019, 17 patients with Gustilo ⅢA Pilon fractures were admitted and treated with NRD technique combined with Ilizarov circular external fixation. Among them, there were 11 males and 6 females; the age ranged from 24 to 63 years, with an average of 38.2 years. There were 3 cases of traffic accident injury, 13 cases of falling injury, and 1 case of penetrating injury. There were 13 cases of emergency admittance and 4 cases of wound infection after surgical treatment. Furthermore, there were 2 cases of fibula fractures and 3 cases of lateral malleolus fractures.

resultsAll patients were followed up 8-12 months, with an average of 9.9 months. All wounds healed by first intention, and 4 patients with preoperative infection had no recurrence during the follow-up. The external fixator was removed after fracture healing in 17 patients at 3-7 months after operation (mean, 4.5 months). At last follow-up, the pain score of the ankle joint Kofoe score was 40-50, with an average of 44; the functional score was 17-27, with an average of 25; the mobility score was 8-18, with an average of 14; and the effectiveness was rated as excellent in 8 cases, good in 7 cases, and poor in 1 case.

conclusionFor Gustilo ⅢA Pilon fractures, the NRD technique combined with Ilizarov circular external fixation has advantages of good fracture fixation and drainage effects, which greatly reduces the complications of traditional treatment options and the number of operations.
