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

A 9-year-old boy fell off his skateboard, resulting in a supracondylar fracture of his left humerus. The fracture was surgically repaired on the same day using two Kirschner wires inserted from the medial and lateral sides. Following surgery, the patient developed ulnar nerve palsy, prompting reoperation. It was discovered that the ulnar nerve was located anterior to the medial epicondyle and was snagged on the Kirschner wire, causing compression. Despite clear confirmation of the wire entry site, the presence of an unstable ulnar nerve anterior to the medial epicondyle necessitates caution to prevent ulnar nerve injury.
