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

A femur fracture is one of the most commonly encountered fractures by orthopaedicians worldwide. Being one of the longest and strongest bones in the body, it is one of the principal load-bearing bones of the lower extremity. Various modalities of fixation have been tried and tested for femur fracture but the most accepted fixation modality for diaphyseal femur fracture worldwide is the interlocking intramedullary nailing. However, intramedullary nailing is not free of any complications. Complications such as infection, non-union, malunion, limb length discrepancy due to wrong size nail, screw or nail breakage, and injury to neurovascular structures while passing guidewire or drilling for the interlocking bolt are commonly reported. We report a case of a patient who presented with a neglected broken femoral nail which resulted in an urethrocutaneous fistula. As per our literature review, this complication has never been reported before.
