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

Introduction: Reverse oblique intertrochanteric fractures are classified by the Orthopaedic Trauma Association [OTA]/[AO] as 31A3, and account for up to one-third of all hip fractures, and 2-23% of all trochanteric fractures. The treatment of choice of those fractures is intramedullary nailing as it decreases soft tissue damage and permits early weight bearing. Material and methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted on patients surgically treated for 31A3 fractures from October 2018 to January 2022 in a high-volume regional referral centre. All the patients had been treated with intramedullary nailing. Results: The selected group included 11 males (16%) and 59 females (84%), with a mean age of 83.6 years (range 61 to 96 years). A Trigen Intertan Nail was the most frequent choice of intramedullary nailing in 33 patients (47%), an Elos Long nail was chosen in 19 cases (27%), while a ZNN nail was used in 18 patients (26%). The mean time between admission and surgery was 2.5 days, with a mean Hb value of 10.5 g/dl reported preoperatively. Conclusion: Patients treated with an Intertan nail reported the lowest TAD, CALTAD, and TALCALTAD mean radiographic values, and the lowest rate of Hb loss and blood transfusions.
