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

Olecranon fractures are uncommon in children. Children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are at an increased risk of olecranon fractures. This is a report of a 12-year-old male patient with known osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 who sustained bilateral asynchronous olecranon metaphyseal avulsion fractures. He sustained a right olecranon avulsion fracture from a fall and underwent open reduction and internal fixation with two Steinman pins and a tension band wire. He was placed in a cast for a month. The Steinman pins were removed at three months. Six months after the first fracture, he sustained a left olecranon avulsion fracture while playing soccer. He underwent open reduction and internal fixation with two Steinman pins and tension band wiring. Hardware was removed at three months. He was returned to full activity due to his type 1 OI. Bilateral asynchronous avulsion fractures of the olecranon are rare, except in children with OI. In the current case, good functional recovery was obtained with tension band wiring.
