Evaluating the Functional Outcomes and the Quality of Life for Pediatric Patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta after Fracture Treatment with Intramedullary Rodding.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesOsteogenesis imperfecta is a rare pathology involving the bones and the connective tissues, generating alterations that lead to frequent fractures during childhood. When fractures occur at birth, they are associated with an impairment of walking and the quality of life. Although surgical techniques have significantly improved in recent years, functional outcomes and the quality of life for pediatric patients that benefited from surgical management with telescopic rods have been less evaluated. This study aimed to measure functional results and determine the factors that influence the quality of life for the pediatric population diagnosed with Osteogenesis imperfecta and surgically treated using the telescopic rod approach after suffering a fracture or severe deformity. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a cohort study that consisted of 15 patients diagnosed with Osteogenesis imperfecta (average age of 11.6 years). All individuals possessed at least one intramedullary telescopic rod as a result of the surgical treatment.
resultsWe observed that the pain, both acute and chronic, impairs the quality of life and interferes with daily living activities, for instance, self-care tasks.
conclusionsOsteogenesis imperfecta is associated with a severely damaged level of walking. All of the aspects of the pediatric patient's daily life activity seem to be affected. Furthermore, these patients, especially those residing in rural areas, have a poor quality of life.
