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

This prospective study aimed to introduce the application of the multiplanar fracture redactor (MFR) in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures with intramedullary nails (IMNs). From February to June 2018, a total of 18 patients with tibial shaft fractures were recruited. MFR was used to help achieve the reduction of tibial shaft fractures with IMN in all patients. The demographic and fracture characteristics, surgical data, postoperative complications and prognostic indicators of 16 patients were recorded. All operations were performed under closed reduction, excellent radiological and functional outcomes were observed. The average duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, number of intraoperative assistants, and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 91.2 ± 26.1 min, 95.0 ± 58.3 ml, 19.2 ± 2.3 times, 1 (1-2), and 7.8 ± 2.6 days, respectively. The mean Lysholm Knee Function Score (LKFS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at one year after surgery were 96.8 ± 2.1, 94.8 ± 2.9, and 1 (0-3), respectively. Wound infection, non-union, malunion or complications associated with MFR were not observed in this study. Thus, MFR was a safe and neater method to achieve and maintain the reduction of tibial shaft fractures with IMN.
