A Case Report on a Bilateral Simultaneous Olecranon Apophyseal Fracture After a Simple Fall: Initial Diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary disorder characterized by abnormal type I collagen metabolism, leading to increased bone fragility. Fractures, often occurring with minor trauma, may manifest in atypical patterns in affected children. Among these, olecranon fractures (OFs) pose a particular risk in pediatric patients with OI. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy with undiagnosed OI type 1 who sustained bilateral simultaneous olecranon avulsion fractures following a simple fall. To our knowledge, this case is the first reported instance in the literature of simultaneous bilateral apophyseal OF in a patient with previously undiagnosed OI. We aim to highlight the importance of considering OI in the differential diagnosis of pediatric OF encountered by orthopedic surgeons. This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion, emphasizing the significance of a holistic approach to patients and detailed history-taking for early diagnosis and appropriate management in children with OI to optimize outcomes.
