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

purposeIn the last two decades, a strong interest on the interosseous membrane (IOM) has developed.

methodsThe authors present a review of the new concepts regarding the understanding of forearm physiology and pathology, with current trends in the surgical management of these rare and debilitating injuries.

resultsAnatomical and biomechanical studies have clarified the anatomy of forearm constrains and their role in forearm longitudinal and transverse stability. The radial pull test, a new intraoperative test, has been developed that might increase the detection on IOM injuries. The forearm is now considered a "functional unit" and, consequently, a new classification has been proposed. Uncommon variants and rare patterns of forearm fracture dislocations have been reported in the literature and could not be classified to those commonly referred to using eponyms (Monteggia, Galeazzi, Essex-Lopresti). The new Artiaco et al. classification includes all injury patterns, thus avoids confusion in the nomenclature, and helps surgeon with detection of lesions and guiding surgical treatment.

conclusionBased on the new classification and after current literature review, authors propose a management flowchart for treatment of forearm instability injuries.
