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

objectiveTo investigate the treatment effect of elastic intramedullary nail reduction and fixation on children with femoral neck fractures.

methodsSixty-two children with femoral neck fractures in our hospital were equally divided into the open reduction and Kirschner wire internal fixation group (group O) and elastic intramedullary nail reduction and fixation group (group E). We investigated the differences in fracture healing time, intraoperative situation, clinical efficacy, Harris scores, secondary effects and bone healing time between group O and group E.

resultsThe intraoperative indexes such as operation time and blood loss of group E were significantly lower than those of group O (P<0.05). After the operation, the treatment effect of group E was slightly higher than that of group O, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). The Harris score of group E was significantly higher than that of group O (P<0.05). The fracture healing time and bone healing time after the surgery in group E were significantly shorter than those in group O (P<0.05). The incidence of secondary effects in group E was lower than that in group O, but without significant difference (P>0.05).

conclusionElastic intramedullary nail reduction and fixation has a better effect in the treatment of children with femoral neck fractures, which can accelerate fracture healing time and improve children's hip function after the operation.
