Treatment of pilon fractures with low profile plates.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundTreatments of pilon fracture is an important operative challenge due to high prevalence of post-operative complications. In this paper, we aimed to evaluate the complications of the use of low profile plates for pilon fractures.
methodsThis clinical trial that was performed in 2017-2021 in Isfahan on 27 patients with pilon fractures. Demographic data of patients such as age, gender, type of pilon fracture and baseline pathology of pilon fractures were collected. Patients were treated using low profile plates under surgical procedures. Within 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgeries, patients were visited and assessed regarding superficial wound infections, deep wound infections, and evidence of osteomyelitis, vascular injuries, non-union and mal-union using both physical examinations and imaging studies via X-ray. We also measured the functions of cases using The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) questionnaire.
resultsMost cases had 3 days (33.3%) and 5 days (33.3%) of hospitalization. Superficial wound infection was observed in 7 cases (26%). Deep surgical site infections were observed in 2 cases (7.4%) and we had only 1 case of osteomyelitis (3.7%). No vascular injuries were observed in this study. Evaluation of union among patients showed that 2 cases (7.4%) had non-union and 5 cases (18.5%) had malunion in the anterior-posterior axis, but none of the patients had malunion in the coronal axis. Based on AOFAS questionnaire, the mean score in patients was 88.36±14.20.
conclusionTreatments of pilon fractures by low profile plates have similar complications compared to other treatment options.
