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
Background: The precise location of unlar osteotomy remains a subject of ongoing controversy in chronic Monteggia fracture (CMF). The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of different levels of ulnar osteotomy on redislocation in CMF. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 18 children following our previous series. Except the baseline characteristics and radiographic parameters such as ulnar osteotomy angle, maximum interosseous distance (MID) and proportional ulnar length (PUL), we introduced a new parameter: proportional ulnar osteotomy (PUO) which represents the quantitative level of proximal ulnar osteotomy. Based on the value of PUO, we divided it into two intervals: appropriate PUO range (1/5< PUO <1/3) and inappropriate PUO range (PUO >1/3; PUO <1/5). The relationship between these indexes and redislocation was analyzed. Results: According to the reduction state of radial head, patients were divided in two groups: reduced (15/18) and redislocation (3/18). Only PUO range differed significantly (P=0.043) between the two groups, with a notably higher number of patients showed an osteotomy between 1/5 and 1/3 of ulna in reduced group. Combining PUO range with radiographic parameters (osteotomy angle and post-PUL) improved the accuracy and specificity over using osteotomy angle and post-PUL (accuracy, 94.44% Conclusions: Ulnar osteotomy between the proximal 1/3 and 1/5 appears to provide a much safer and more stable radiocapitellar joint in CMF.
