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

Introduction: Closed anatomical reduction of per-trochanteric fractures requires 3-axis control of the orthopedic traction table (OTT) which is challenging in patients having suffered a previous ipsilateral Gritti-Stokes amputation. Case Report: A 52-year-old man, known by Gritti-Stokes amputated (GSA) 10 years before, was admitted to our trauma center after a fall from his height. We describe a simple method for positioning a previously ipsilateral GSA patient in an OTT to reduce displaced a femoral per-trochanteric fracture site and to maintain it during surgery. The proposed method attaches non-adhesive bands to the stump, reinforced by the wire guide package to increase rigidity and allow 3-axis control of the OTT. Conclusion: This method can be performed in a standard trauma operating room, it only uses materials that were planned to be used during surgery, and consequently, it does not increase operative costs.
