The 2023 Turkey Earthquake: Management of 627 Pediatric Musculoskeletal Injuries in the First Month.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
(1) Background: On 6February 2023, two consecutive earthquakes hit Kahramanmaraş and surrounding ten cities, killing over 50,000 people. We aimed to reveal the treatment process of pediatric patients admitted to Adana City Hospital (ACH) in the first month after the earthquake. (2) Methods: Demographic data of the patients, time of presentation to the emergency department, injury locations, treatment procedures, and patient file information were recorded retrospectively and evaluated statistically. (3) Results: There were 1246 patients under the age of 18. A total of 560 patients were hospitalized in the orthopedic clinic; 42% were admitted in the first 24 h and 58% in the first three days. Of these children, 69 (12%) were referred, 52 (10%) were transferred to other departments within the hospital, and 421 (75.2%) were discharged in stable condition. The number of patients with large bone fractures was 77 (34 open fractures). Fasciotomy surgery was performed on 131 patients, 78 of whom had bilateral procedures. Of the 31 patients who underwent amputation, 17 (55%) were performed within the first 24 h and 28 (90%) within the first week. (4) Conclusions: Almost all injured children are admitted to the hospital during the first few days after an earthquake. The management of earthquake injuries in pediatric patients requires specialized care and immediate attention during the treatment process.
