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 compare the clinical efficacy, safety, and prognosis of full-threaded headless cannulated compression screws (HCCSs) and anatomical plates (APs) in the treatment of triplane fractures of the distal tibia.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 74 patients with triplane fractures of the distal tibia treated in our hospital from April 2017 to March 2019 were selected as the research subjects. Among them, 38 patients receiving full-threaded HCCSs were assigned to the research group (RG), and the remaining 36 patients receiving APs were assigned to the control group (CG). The general indices, including operation, fracture healing, and ambulation times, efficacy, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to assess pain, and a quality of life (QOL) survey was conducted at 6 months after surgery.

resultsCompared with the CG, the operation time, fracture healing time, and ambulation time of the RG were significantly shortened (

conclusionFull-threaded HCCSs are more effective and safer than APs and can effectively improve the prognosis of patients with triplane fractures of the distal tibia.
