The initial analysis of pediatric fractures according to the AO/OTA fracture classification and mechanisms of injuries.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe epidemiology of pediatric fractures has been changing timely, in a multifactorial fashion. The aim of this study was to put forward a recent 5-year epidemiological analysis of pediatric fractures, according to the current AO/OTA fracture classification, in the current decade of action for road safety.
methodsA total of 3261 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with at least one fracture related with orthopedics and traumatology in a level-one trauma center were included in this retrospective and epidemiological descriptive study. The patients were grouped according to their ages as follows; <2, 2-5.9, 6-9.9, and 10-17.9. The fractures were examined according to the AO/OTA classification.
resultsA total of 3396 fractures were present in 3261 patients. The mean age of the patients was 9.8±4.6 (1-17). The number of patients according to the age groups was as follows; 28 (0.008%), 735 (22.53%), 863 (26.47%), and 1635 (50.99%), respectively. The most frequent three fractures according to the AO/OTA fracture classification were; 23 (radius/ulna distal 22.9%), 13 (humerus distal, 13.3%), and 7 (hand/carpal, 12%). About 68.8% and 31.2% of the patients were treated non-surgically and surgically, respectively. Overall mortality rate was 0.1%.
conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first analysis of pediatric fractures according to the AO/OTA classification, over a 5-year period. As a future prospect, further multicentric epidemiological studies are warranted to constitute a sustainable action plan for the prevention of major traumas.
