Evaluation of musculoskeletal system injuries after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Turkey earthquakes: Our single-center experience.
Article in Qatar medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThis study aimed to retrospectively analyze patients who presented to the orthopedic and traumatology clinic following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. PATIENTS AND
methodsOver a week after the earthquakes, two hundred and sixty patients were consulted at our clinic. Demographic data of the patients, duration of being under the rubble, fracture locations, types of surgeries performed, number of surgical sessions attended by individuals, and early mortality rate within one month were determined.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 40.2 ± 22.4 years. One hundred thirty-eight (53.1%) were female, and 122 (46.9%) were male. The average duration of being under the rubble was determined as 27.1 ± 28.0 hours. Sixteen patients died within one month after the earthquake. The one-month mortality rate among patients with orthopedic injuries was 6.15%. Forty-seven fasciotomies were performed in 35 patients, and 22 amputations were performed in 19 patients. The most injured region was the lower extremity (78 cases, 40%). The ratio of external and internal fixation in extremity fractures was 22%.
conclusionsThe management of musculoskeletal injuries can be successful with proper triage and treatment plans. Decisions regarding fasciotomy and amputation in patients with crush syndrome following an earthquake should be individualized. Implant sets should be planned accordingly, especially considering the higher occurrence of lower extremity injuries.
