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

objectiveStable reduction of pediatric fractures to the accepted position. Prevention of recurrent dislocation or loss of reduction to avoid invasive surgery. INDICATIONS: Pediatric fractures of the upper and lower extremities. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Joint fractures, comminuted fractures, open fractures. TECHNIQUE: A comfortable environment for the child as well as sufficient pain management is of highest importance for successful treatment. Depending on the location of fracture or fracture pattern, indirect reduction (e.g. by cuff and collar), or direct manual reduction is applied with or without fixation of the fragments (screws, Kirschner wire, external fixator). POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Follow-up radiograph 5-7 days after closed reduction. In case of retention with hardware, a consolidation control with radiograph 3-6 weeks postintervention (depending on the age of the patient) is appropriate.

resultsIntroduction of closed reduction techniques makes pediatric fracture treatment feasible without open interventions or need of osteosynthesis.
