Femur fracture in a paediatric patient with hereditary hyaline fibromatosis syndrome.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An 18-month-old girl with hereditary hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HHFS) and fixed flexion contractures presented with an oblique femur fracture, following a fall out of her mother's arms. The fracture was abutting intramedullary hyaline lesions. Due to her condition, balanced traction was impossible to apply. The authors report effective treatment of her injury using a non-operative approach in an early hip spica, over a 4-week period. There was no evidence of delayed osseous healing. Early spica application could be used as a definitive management option in children with femur fractures and fixed flexion contractures in future. This case emphasises the need for preventative measures to support bone health in patients with HHFS.
