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

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate Sanders type 2 calcaneal fractures in 197 patients from a single center using the 3D (three-dimensional) CT (computed tomography) mapping method. MATERIAL AND METHODS A consecutive series of 197 Sanders type 2 joint depression calcaneal fractures was used. The segment and split functions were used to create each calcaneal fragment using Mimics Research 20.0 software. The fracture fragments were reduced in 3-matic Research 12.0 software. In the E-3D Medical 18.01 software, after superimposing the fractured calcaneus entity with the calcaneus template, we drew the fracture line on the template. Finally, the heatmap was obtained by fracture statistical analysis function. Simultaneously, the distribution of the fracture lines in the anterior part of the calcaneus (APC) and middle talar joint was recorded. RESULTS There were 109 cases of Sanders type 2A, 46 cases of Sanders type 2B, and 42 cases of Sanders type 2C. Based on the data, we drew the characteristic fracture map of type 2A 2B and 2C. This study found that the most common types of Sanders type 2A in APC and middle talar articular surface are type AC and type AD. In Sanders type 2B, the most common type is type AC, and in Sanders type 2C it is type ACD. CONCLUSIONS The findings from this study showed that 3D CT imaging and reconstruction of the calcaneus was a useful diagnostic method to evaluate and classify joint depression calcaneal fractures. The calcaneal fracture map can be used to guide surgical planning and optimize the design of internal fixation.
