Peripheral nerve injuries associated with dislocated supracondylar fractures of distal humerus in children: incidence and need of surgical treatment.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe objective of this study was to determine the incidence, necessity for neurosurgical intervention, and overall results of the treatment of pediatric peripheral nerve injuries associated with dislocated supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus.
methodA retrospective analysis of pediatric patients with supracondylar fractures treated from April 2019 to April 2022 with a minimum follow-up of 3 months was conducted.
resultsOf 453 included patients, there were 51 recorded peripheral nerve injuries. The ulnar nerve was the most frequently injured nerve. Nine patients required neurosurgical intervention, with the most common procedure being the release of entrapped nerves. The combination of a supracondylar fracture and arterial injury was identified as a significant risk factor for peripheral nerve injury (p < 0.001). Only one patient experienced an unsatisfactory outcome.
conclusionAlthough the prognosis for peripheral nerve injuries in children with supracondylar fractures is generally favorable, these injuries must be properly identified. We recommend an active neurosurgical approach in children with persisting neurological deficits to minimize the risk of permanent neurological impairment.
