Medial Condyle Fracture of the Distal Humerus in an Elderly Patient With Fishtail Deformity and Lateral Condyle Nonunion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A medial condyle fracture of the humerus with preexisting fishtail deformity and lateral condyle nonunion is very rare, and there have been few reports describing favorable treatment options. We herein report the case of an 83-year-old woman who sustained a medial condyle fracture of her elbow with a comorbidity of long-lasting limited elbow motion with a history of elbow trauma in childhood. After conservative treatment with casting for four weeks, unstable medial condyle fracture in the presence of fishtail deformity and lateral condyle nonunion remained. Due to persistent pain, the patient underwent surgical treatment with semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) through the triceps-on approach. At the 12-month follow-up examination, the patient had no pain and achieved satisfactory functional outcomes. This case report demonstrated the efficacy of TEA for deteriorated stability due to bilateral condyle fracture/nonunion with fishtail deformity of the humerus.
