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

introductionThe combination of both collateral ligaments injury in the elbow without fractures or dislocations is not reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: a case report of rare acute combined collateral ligaments injury of the elbow was treated surgically by repairing both collateral ligament complexes with two different approaches. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Clinical examination at 3 months showed a stable elbow with a flexion arc from 0 to 140. 10 degrees residual varus laxity was observed. Pronation and supination were unrestricted. The patient experienced mild pain and was able to do push up and was completely satisfied with the result.

conclusionThe case presented is the first case presented in the literature with acute combined and isolated collateral ligaments injury of the elbow. Based on the clinical result obtained. We propose acute surgical approach of both collateral ligaments for such types of injury. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4:
