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

Introduction: Lateral condyle fracture with elbow instability is a rare injury. To our knowledge, this is the second case report describing the mechanism of injury and its management. Case Report: We report the case of 42-year-old gentleman sustained injury to elbow following slip and fall. He presented to us after 2 weeks of injury diagnosed to have lateral condyle fracture of humerus managed conservatively with elbow instability which was missed initially. On further evaluation, he was found to have type 1 coronoid avulsion injury. Intraoperatively, we found that the capsular avulsion injury from coronoid was the primary reason for instability. We have tried to describe the possible mechanism of injury and management in this case report. Conclusion: Lateral condyle fracture in adults is a rare injury which can disguise the more complex trauma associated with fracture dislocation of elbow. Proper preoperative evaluation with intraoperative assessment of elbow instability is crucial for obtaining good outcome.
