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

The treatment of phalangeal fractures is guided by fracture characteristics, patient factors and surgeon judgment. This study retrospectively compares characteristics of phalangeal fractures treated with closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) with those of fractures treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) to identify risk factors associated with reoperation. A total of 901 phalangeal fractures were included and treated operatively by either CRPP (748 fractures, 83 ​%) or ORIF (153 fractures, 17 ​%). Demographics, surgical management, and complication data were collected. Statistical analyses were performed to stratify risk associations and identify potential predictors of reoperation. With multivariate analysis and bootstrapped LASSO regression, fractures addressed by means of ORIF (vs. CRPP), work-related fractures, and open fractures were found to be independently associated with reoperation. These findings can be used to guide patient selection, surgical planning and timing of fracture repair. Level of evidence: Level III, Therapeutic.
