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

Bosworth fracture-dislocation is a challenging injury of the ankle highlighted by the entrapment of the proximal fibula segment behind the distal tibia. The rarity of these fractures frequently leads to unsuccessful closed reduction attempts, due to soft tissue interposition and locked dislocation of the fibula. We present a Bosworth injury initially misdiagnosed as a common Weber B lateral malleolus fracture. Increasing patient discomfort warrants a thorough re-evaluation of X-rays to identify the complexity of a Bosworth injury and ensure effective surgical treatment.
