A Rare Case of Isolated Type III Salter-Harris Physeal Injury of the Distal Ulna.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pediatric distal forearm fractures are very commonly seen in orthopedic and trauma services. The majority of such fractures involve either distal radius alone or concomitant with distal ulna physis. Isolated injuries of the distal ulna physis are exceedingly rare. Moreover, only one case of isolated Salter-Harris type III distal ulnar physeal injury has been reported in English literature. We report the second such case of isolated distal ulnar physeal injury with Salter-Harris type III pattern in a 15-year-old male child. The injury was treated conservatively in a short-arm splint for four weeks with a good outcome. At the last follow-up of one year, there was no physeal abnormality or growth disturbance detected. Such injuries need to be ruled out in all pediatric distal forearm fractures and can be managed conservatively, if undisplaced, with good outcomes. These patients also need regular monitoring till the closure of the physis to look for the development of any ulnar shortening or deformity due to physeal growth arrest.
