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

Background: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a refractory and rare disease. Because of its extremely low incidence, little is known about its clinical features. In this retrospective study, we aim to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with CPT. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of children with CPT identified by the radiological review. Investigations of CPT included general conditions, the characteristics of CPT, treatment methods, and surgical complications. Results: We collected 514 CPT cases from March 1999 to March 2020 in our hospital, such as 317 (61.67%) boys, 197 (38.33%) girls; 330 (62.86%) in Crawford IV; 510 (97.14%) in mid and distal 1/3 tibia; 481 (93.58%) in less than 3 years at onset age; 297 (57.78%) in less than 3 years at the first outpatient visit. The most common post-operative complication was ankle valgus (101, 39.60%), followed by limb length discrepancy (91, 35.69%), refracture (38, 14.90%), osteomyelitis (15, 5.88%), and removal of internal fixation (10, 3.93%). Conclusions: CPT with a higher incidence of Crawford IV frequently occurs in boys and the middle or distal part of the tibia; most patients have the onset age and first outpatient visit before 3 years; the major surgical complications are ankle valgus and limb length discrepancy.
