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

Objectives: Performing orthopedic surgery in and out of working hours may affect the success of the surgery. Timing of surgery in tibial shaft fractures is controversial. In this study, the effect of the timing of surgery on the success and complications of intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures is examined. Methods: Archieves of patients with tibial shaft fractures treated with reamed intramedullary nails between 2010 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Fifty-seven patients were included in the study. Patients were categorized by the time of the surgery. Day time (Group I) is between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm and after hour (Group II) is between 5:00 pm and 07:00 am. Group I (n: 40) and Group II (n: 17) were evaluated. Technical errors, surgery time, and length of hospital stay statistical analysis was performed between the two groups in terms of technical errors, complication rates, length of hospital stay, and duration of surgery. Results: The mean duration of operation (p=0.419), number of distal screws (p=0.847), time to union (p=0.454), experience of the surgeon (p=0.192), and technical error rate (p=0.654) did not differ significantly between two groups. Length of hospital stay and time to surgery from emergency were significantly higher in day time group. Conclusion: Technical errors and surgery time of intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures are not higher at after hour before midnight than day time. Non-urgent tibial shaft fractures might be treated with intramedullary nailing at after hours before midnight for efficient use of hospitals.
