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 analyze the effect of PFNA-II internal fixation on hip joint recovery and quality of life (QOL) in patients with lateral-wall dangerous type of intertrochanteric fracture.

methodsOne hundred and twelve patients with lateral-wall dangerous type of intertrochanteric fracture who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from May 2017 to May 2019 were selected as the participants of the study. Based on the treatment method, all the enrolled patients were divided into two groups: proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA group;

resultsThe operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and the incidence of postoperative complications in PFNA group were statistically lower than those in DHS group (

conclusionPFNA internal fixation for the treatment of lateral-wall dangerous type of intertrochanteric fracture has the advantages of short operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, effective improvement of hip joint function, and fewer postoperative complications, which is worthy of clinical application.
