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

Proximal femur fractures are rare pediatric injuries associated with high energy trauma as well as polytrauma. Injuries during childhood can cause a significant disability in some cases. The four Delbet classifications of femur fractures are frequently used as prognostic for potential avascular necrosis. Necessary treatment is urgent and needs to be tailored to the fracture type and patient age. This case report presents the detailed history, examination, and treatment of a six-year-old girl with an uncommon site of pediatric fracture at the femoral neck combined with an ipselateral displaced talus fracture due to a fall from the second floor. Talus fracture was missed and discovered in operation room; however, both fractures are highly associated with avascular necrosis and post-traumatic arthritis. The patient was followed for two years on regular basis after the initial operation with a normal gait, full range of motion, and no active complain.
