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

introductionThe epidemiology of acute paediatric orthopaedic trauma managed surgically across the NHS is poorly described. Compliance against national standards for the management of supracondylar humeral fractures is also unknown at a national level.

methodsCollaborators in 129 NHS hospitals prospectively collected data on surgically managed acute paediatric orthopaedic trauma cases. Data were collected over a seven-day period and included demographics, injury characteristics, operative details and timing of surgery. A national audit was also undertaken to evaluate compliance with the British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma Guideline 11:

resultsData were captured on 770 surgically treated cases. The three most common injuries were forearm fractures of both bones (

conclusionForearm fractures of both bones, distal radius fractures and supracondylar humeral fractures were the three most common injuries treated surgically. There is wide variation in compliance against national standards in the management of supracondylar humeral fractures with 88% undertaking surgery on the day of or the day following presentation but only 37% using the recommended 2.0mm Kirschner wires.
