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

This case report describes a traumatic elbow dislocation in a patient with congenital radioulnar synostosis. It discusses the difficulties and potential complications of managing this complicated injury. Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) is a rare elbow pathology that is characterised by the abnormal fusion of the proximal radius and ulna bones at the elbow. This case report describes a traumatic posterior elbow dislocation in a 30 year old patient with CRUS. Patients with CRUS are more susceptible to elbow dislocation due to laxity of stabilising ligaments and increased stiffness of the forearm leading to greater force transfer to the elbow. CRUS should be considered in patients with difficult to reduce elbow dislocations.
