Clinical study of intramedullary nailing fixation for the treatment of Danis-Weber B in lateral malleolus fracture.

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.
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
objectiveTo compare the clinical effects between anatomical locking plates and interlocking intramedullary nails in patients with Danis-Weber B lateral malleolus fractures.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled patients with Danis-Weber B fractures of the lateral malleolus. All the operations were completed by the same group of surgeons. The reduction effect, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, fracture healing time and ankle functional outcomes (Olerud-Molander Ankle Score [OMAS]) were compared. Postoperative complications, including incision infections, fixation discomfort and internal fixation loosening, were also compared.
resultsThis study enrolled 73 patients that were treated with either an anatomical locking plate (locking plate group;
conclusionUsing intramedullary nails resulted in more satisfactory functional outcomes compared with using locking plates in patients with Danis-Weber B fractures of the lateral malleolus.
