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

Immobilization of fractures and dislocations is a basic technique in orthopedic trauma surgery care. The orthopedic surgeon should be familiar with the various materials, techniques and possible complications. Despite other techniques, the classical white plaster cast remains an integral part of orthopedic trauma surgery care. The application of such a cast must be learned as failure to observe the basic principles can result in harm to the patient. In many hospitals, the application of a plaster cast is delegated to the nursing staff according to the physician's instructions. As a result, many young medical colleagues lack the knowledge of how to apply a plaster cast. In addition to the treatment of fractures, immobilization after dislocation, inflammation and ligamentous injuries are some of the areas of application. In this article the application of a plaster cast is described based on a case study, from the indications to the execution and possible complications.
