Effectiveness in the Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture in Geriatric Patients by A Novel Prototype Carbon Composite External Fixator.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 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
backgroundIntertrochanteric fracture is a common injury in seniors. Senior patients taking surgical interventions suffer from prolonged bed-rest complications such as pressure ulcer, thromboembolism, or pneumonia, which may lead to high mortality rate. A treatment using external fixators is, therefore, recommendable, and has shown satisfactory outcomes such as early weight-bearing, short hospitalization time and quick union time. Fracture treatments in Vietnam mainly use metal and imported fixation, raising concerns of compatibility and financial issues from patients.
objectiveThis study investigated the
methodsFifty-five patients treated with the metal fixator and 54 patients treated with the composite fixator - all aged 60 - 99 - were monitored for treatment results until one year after surgery.
resultsThe results demonstrated the external fixator's effectiveness, especially the composite prototype, which minimized blood loss, shortened operation time, reduced pain, and provided stable fixation that promoted proper bone union.
conclusionThe novel composite fixator prototype in this study was also superior to the current metal fixator in many aspects. Proper application of this method could prove its effectiveness in the surgical cure for fracture in older people. It should be a viable choice for intertrochanteric fracture treatment for senile people in Vietnam.
