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

Approaching the elbow joint posteriorly is the most used method to visualize closed fractures of the distal humerus in adults. Treatment can span from open reduction and internal fixation to elbow hemiarthroplasty and total elbow arthroplasty. Different approaches were developed in the necessity of balancing an adequate visualization with minimizing complications and these surgical exposures can be divided into four main categories: paratricipital, triceps reflecting, triceps splitting and olecranon osteotomy. In this article are described the positive and negative features of the principal posterior elbow approaches and their best clinical uses for the treatment of distal humerus complete articular fractures classified according to AO/OTA classification 13C.
