Influence of ulnar bow sign on surgical treatment of missed Bado type I Monteggia fracture in children.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The present study aimed to explore the influence of ulnar bow on the surgical treatment of Bado type I missed Monteggia fracture in children. A retrospective review of 28 patients was conducted between November 2010 and June 2020. All patients were treated with open reduction of the radial head and ulnar opening wedge osteotomy without annular ligament reconstruction. Four months (range 1-12 months) was the mean interval between injury onset and surgery. The average age of patients at the time of surgery was 6.1 years old (range 2-10 years old). The maximum ulnar bow (MUB) and MUB position (P-MUB) via radiography were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups according to P-MUB, as follows: middle group (A) included 17 cases, and the MUB was located at 40-60% of the distal ulna; and distal group (B) included 11 cases, and the MUB was located at 20-40% from the distal end of the ulna. The mean follow-up period was 33 months (range 6-102 months). At the last follow-up, all the children showed stable reduction of the radial head, and the flexion function of elbow joint improved after the operation (P < 0.05). Group A presented a larger ratio of maximum ulnar bow (R-MUB) and angle of ulnar osteotomy (OA) than group B (P < 0.05). The osteotomy angle was positively correlated with the R-MUB (R
