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

Insufficiency fractures are a type of stress fractures that occur due to physiological stress on weakened bones. These have certain sites of predilection of which an uncommon site is fibular shaft. Isolated bilateral fibular fractures have previously only been reported twice, where the causes were repeated trauma and fatigue fracture. Insufficiency fractures of both fibula in isolation have not previously been reported. We present this case where a young patient presented with these fractures and was found to have vitamin D deficiency on subsequent investigations.
