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 explore the effectiveness of minimally invasive clamp reduction technique via anterior approach in treatment of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures.

methodsBetween January 2015 and January 2019, 59 patients with irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures were treated with minimally invasive clamp reduction technique via anterior approach. There were 29 males and 30 females with an average age of 77.9 years (range, 45-100 years). The causes of injury included falling in 46 cases, traffic accident in 6 cases, smashing in 2 cases, and falling from height in 5 cases. The time from injury to operation was 1-14 days (mean, 3.8 days). The fractures were classified as AO type 31-A1 in 12 cases, type 31-A2 in 25 cases, type 31-A3 in 22 cases.

resultsAll fractures were reduced well and the fracture reduction took 10 to 30 minutes, with an average of 19 minutes. All patients were followed up 13-25 months, with an average of 17.6 months. Among them, 2 cases of pronation displacement of proximal fracture segment died for infection or falling pneumonia after internal fixation failed. Six patients with reversed intertrochanteric femoral fractures experienced re-pronation and abduction displacement of the lateral wall after internal fixation, but the fractures all healed. The rest of the patients had no fracture reduction loss, and the fractures healed with an average healing time of 5.9 months (range, 3-9 months). Except for 2 patients who died, the Harris score of hip joint function of the remaining 57 patients was excellent in 49 cases and good in 8 cases at last follow-up.

conclusionThe minimally invasive clamp reduction technique via anterior approach for irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures is simple and effective. For irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures related to lateral wall displacement, after clamp reduction and intramedullary nail fixation, the lateral wall should be reinforced in order to avoid reduction loss and internal fixation failure.
