Influence of Obesity in Children with Supracondylar Humeral Fractures Requiring Surgical Treatment at a Tertiary Pediatric Trauma Center.

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
backgroundAlmost everywhere in the world, childhood obesity is becoming a serious public health problem with negative effects on both children's health and society as a whole. The main objective of this study was to determine whether obesity has an effect on the severity of supracondylar humerus fracture in children, regardless of whether it is a low- or high-energy trauma.
methodsThe electronic records of patients treated for the supracondylar fracture of the humerus in the ten-year period from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2023 were reviewed retrospectively.
resultsIn the observed period, 618 children, including 365 (59.06%) boys and 253 (40.94%) girls, were hospitalized and treated surgically with the diagnosis of supracondylar fracture. The distributions according to the observed parameters were as follows: age (months) = 88.18 ± 32.64; height (cm) = 123.42 ± 16.83; weight (kg) = 27.18 ± 11.32; body mass index = 17.18 ± 3.06; body mass index-for-age percentile = 57.34 ± 32.11. Overall, 141 (22.82%) fractures were classified as Gartland II, while 477 (77.18%) were classified as Gartland III. A total of 66 (10.68%) fractures were flexion type, while 552 (89.32%) were extension type. The left elbow was affected in 401 (64.89%) children, while the right was affected in 217 (35.11%) children. The main mechanism of injury was a fall at ground level (33.33%). In relation to gender, a statistically significant difference was recorded in body mass index and percentile (
conclusionsIn our study, we found that the proportion of overweight and obese children requiring surgical treatment was higher in Gartland type III injury, so there is no doubt that as a society we must prevent further increases in the prevalence of childhood obesity for this reason as well.
