Pediatric Radial Neck Fractures: A Systematic Review Regarding the Influence of Fracture Treatment on Elbow Function.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: This review aims to identify what angulation may be accepted for the conservative treatment of pediatric radial neck fractures and how the range of motion (ROM) at follow-up is influenced by the type of fracture treatment. Patients and Methods: A PRISMA-guided systematic search was performed for studies that reported on fracture angulation, treatment details, and ROM on a minimum of five children with radial neck fractures that were followed for at least one year. Data on fracture classification, treatment, and ROM were analyzed. Results: In total, 52 studies (2420 children) were included. Sufficient patient data could be extracted from 26 publications (551 children), of which 352 children had at least one year of follow-up. ROM following the closed reduction (CR) of fractures with <30 degrees angulation was impaired in only one case. In fractures angulated over 60 degrees, K-wire fixation (Kw) resulted in a significantly better ROM than intramedullary fixation (CIMP; Kw 9.7% impaired vs. CIMP 32.6% impaired, p = 0.01). In more than 50% of cases that required open reduction (OR), a loss of motion occurred. Conclusions: CR is effective in fractures angulated up to 30 degrees. There may be an advantage of Kw compared to CIMP fixation in fractures angulated over 60 degrees. OR should only be attempted if CR and CRIF have failed.
