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
Introduction: Terrible triad includes posterior dislocation of the elbow, radial head fracture, and coronoid fracture. It renders the elbow joint unstable, creating a need for surgical intervention. The purpose of our study was to analyze the outcomes in such patients who underwent surgery in this tertiary care center. Case Report: Ten cases were identified in this monocentric single surgeon retrospective study. The cases had radial head tripod fixation with Headless screws, coronoid fixation with transosseous suture tape, and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) repair with suture anchors/ethibond. The assessment was done using the Oxford elbow score and range of motion. Results: Eight of the ten cases had Mason type 3 radial head fracture pattern, and the remaining had type 2. Six cases had Regan Morey type 1 coronoid fracture, rest had type 2. The mean follow-up period was 38 months (range 4-64 months). The Oxford elbow scores for Pain: A mean of 98.6 (standard deviation [SD] 3.1), Function: A mean of 97.8 (SD 3.6), and Psychosocial domain: A mean of 96 (SD 5.8). The flexion-extension range of motion arc mean is 130° (SD 6.1). The mean Pronation is 69° (SD 2.23). The mean supination is 79° (SD 2.23). Heterotopic ossification was noticed in one patient. Conclusion: A radial head fracture with three or more fragments should not always indicate a radial head prosthesis or excision. Fixation can also achieve good results. LCL repair, coronoid fixation, and the anterior capsule add to joint stability.
