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

A bilateral neck of femur fracture in children is a rare occurrence with only twelve cases reported till the date. We report a case of a 3-year-old schoolgirl with bilateral Delbet type 2 fracture neck femur after a fall from height. She was managed elsewhere by bilateral closed reduction and screw fixation within 24 h. She presented to us three months after surgery with painful hip movements and inability to walk. Her X-ray showed bilateral Ratliff type three avascular necrosis and bilateral delayed union with visible fracture lines. We placed her in double hip spica for three months. Fortunately, on both sides fractures united well with complete resolution of avascular changes. At one year follow-up, she had no functional limitation, no limb length discrepancy, and an x-ray showed mild coxa vara on left. Bilateral delayed union and avascular necrosis of fracture neck femur has not been reported till date.
