Fixation of Paediatric Proximal Humerus Fractures Using Percutaneous Pinning: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 12-year-old male came to our Emergency Department with chief complaints of pain and inability to move the right shoulder for one day following a fall while playing. The range of motion of the right shoulder was restricted and painful in all directions. Initial radiographs revealed a transverse, displaced proximal humerus fracture at the head-shaft junction. The patient was managed by closed reduction internal fixation with percutaneous K-wiring (Kirschner wires). The K-wires were removed after four weeks, and the shoulder was mobilized. The patient had a near-normal and pain-free range of motion at three months of follow-up. Percutaneous K-wiring remains a viable option for the treatment of paediatric proximal humerus fractures, and good post-operative rehabilitation can help restore near-normal function, as demonstrated in this report.
