EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH ANKLE FRACTURE TREATED IN A TERTIARY LEVEL HOSPITAL.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients diagnosed with ankle fracture admitted to a tertiary hospital.
methodsRetrospective Cross-Sectional Observational Study. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Individuals aged ≥18 (eighteen) years, diagnosed with ankle fracture, who underwent surgical and/or conservative treatment at a tertiary hospital in the city of São Paulo. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Medical records with incomplete data, patients transferred to other hospital services.
resultsThere was a higher prevalence of: mechanism of trauma due to motorcycle accidents (27.9%), surgical treatment (92.7%), with a higher frequency of use of plates and screws (68.5%). The most common type of fracture were bimalleolar and trimalleolar (23.8%; 20.5%), classified as AO44B2 and AO44B3, both with 17.8%.
conclusionAnkle fractures in this study were predominantly seen in male patients, aged from 30 to 39 years, with the main mechanism of injury being a motorcycle accident. There was a correlation between mechanism of injury and fracture classification , with the most common being types 44B2 and 44B3, and the use of an external fixator in 9.1% of cases. The death rate was significant when related to associated injuries, in polyfractured patients.
