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

We present a case of a 16-year-old male with a Salter-Harris type II physeal slip of the distal femur managed with closed reduction and K wire and clamp-based external fixator. Knee range of motion exercises were initiated after one week. The union was observed at 10 weeks, and implant removal was done on an outpatient basis. At one year follow-up, the patient had good clinical and radiological outcomes. The K-wire-based external fixator frame is an effective fixation method for distal femur physeal slips in older children, providing favorable radiological and functional outcomes.
