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

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness comparison of external fixator combined with Kirschner wire fixation and Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of cubitus varus deformity in children. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted to collect 36 children of postoperative supracondylar humerus fracture complicating cubitus varus deformity between January 2018 and July 2022. Among them, 17 cases were treated with distal humeral wedge osteotomy external fixation combined with Kirschner wire fixation (observation group), and 19 cases were treated with distal humeral wedge osteotomy and Kirschner wire fixation (control group). The baseline data including age, gender, deformity side, time from fracture to operation, carrying angle of the healthy side and preoperative carrying angle of the affected side, elbow flexion and extension range of motion, and lateral condylar prominence index (LCPI) showed no significant difference between the two groups ( Results: The children in both groups were followed up 13-48 months, with an average of 26.7 months. There was 1 case of needle tract infection in the observation group and 2 cases in the control group, and no nerve injury occurred, the difference in the incidence of complication (5.88% Conclusion: External fixator combined with Kirschner wire fixation and Kirschner wire fixation both can achieve satisfactory correction of cubitus varus deformity in children, and the former can achieve better short-term functional recovery of elbow joint and reduce the incidence of humeral lateral condyle protrusion.
