Management of Open Supracondylar Humeral Fracture in Children: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Open supracondylar humeral fractures (SHFs) are rare, and there have been few papers specifically addressing their management. In this report, we describe the management and 27-month outcomes of an open SHF. A healthy eight-year-old boy presented with open SHF of the right elbow and underwent percutaneous lateral fixation using two Kirschner wires (K-wire) after irrigation and debridement (I&D) through an anterior approach. Excellent outcomes were obtained without any complications over a 27-month follow-up period. The management of open SHFs in children is yet to be standardized; nevertheless, we believe that I&D is a crucial step, that well-done lateral entry K-wires could provide the required stability, that the anterior approach is logical, safe, and effective, and that the high healing potential of children is our ally in such injuries.
