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

Legal appraisals of possible treatment errors in childhood and adolescence are rare, often refer to the treatment of trauma of the upper limbs and are frequently recognized. From the activity of the first author as an expert witness 31 expert opinions (25%) referred to the upper limbs. Supracondylar humeral fractures, radius neck fractures, radial condyle fractures and distal radius fractures were predominant. A primary treatment error was determined in 14 patients and a secondary error in 7 patients. This corresponds to a recognition rate of 68%. The aim of this study was the reflection and the development of a prevention strategy. Insufficient recognition of instability (radial condyle), inadequate reduction and inadequate stabilization (radius neck, supracondylar) as well as untreated malalignments and secondary dislocations (wrist) were the main reproaches. Poor communication and deficient documentation often aggravate the situation. Working along clear algorithms can help to avoid legal proceedings and assignment of guilt.
