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

This study aims to describe the epidemiology of hand injuries in pediatric patients undergoing surgical treatment. A retrospective analysis of patients with traumatic hand injuries surgically treated over a 7-year period. A total of 155 patients were included. Fracture was the most common injury type (74.8%), most of which were open (54.3%). Incidence of articular fractures increased with age. The predominant mechanism of injury before age 10 was crush. In toddlers, only central digits were affected. Good functional results were achieved (Quick-DASH 1.37 ± 4.90). The incidence of hand injuries requiring surgery increased with age. The mechanism and segment affected varied with age groups. Although good functional results are expected, complications may occur 33% and secondary surgical procedures in 7.7%.
