Clinical and demographic profile Volkmann's ischemic contracture presenting in Tigray (Ethiopia).

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
objectiveVolkmann's ischemic contracture (VIC) represents the outcome of a compartment syndrome, not adeguately managed during the acute phase. It is still to be found in the developing contries, while it is rarely present in the developed countries. In this report we refer on our african experiences on VIC, because we beleive might be useful for last generation of italian orthopaedics which rarely have a chance to see Volkmann's cases. MATHERIALS AND
methodsAA report their 2-years experience of 16 patients aged 7 to 17, presenting various entities of Volkmann's in Tigrai.
resultsin all patients there has been an aceptable recovery of hand function, also although the difficulty to verify the outcomes because of the scarce overlapping of the clinical status and different operations.
conclusionsattention shall be drawn to the outcomes and a healthcare education is necessary in those villages where cures are entrusted to the so called "traditional doctors" who are nothing more than "bone-setters".
