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

Seymour fracture, a rare entity whose management is complex due to the mechanism and rate of complications. We present a case to describe our management approach. A 14-year-old child with a laceration secondary to a boot crush of 1 day of evolution. The physical examination reveals a lacerated fifth digit involving skin, nail bed, and distal phalange. Radiography was performed, Salter-Harris I fracture was diagnosed. Early surgical intervention was performed, irrigation, nail bed repair, debridement, open reduction, and osteosynthesis with K-wires. The patient was referred to rehabilitation and an antibiotic scheme of amoxicillin-clavulanic plus clindamycin was given. After 8 weeks Kirschner wire was removed, and no complications were reported. A fingertip injury outcome score was performed obtaining 11 points. Early intervention is a must. The use of Fingertip Injuries Outcome Assessment Score is vital for followup in children. Collaboration across disciplines is key to improving outcomes.
