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

Introduction: Isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury, often presenting following direct trauma with difficulty in active and passive pronation/supination. Accurate and prompt diagnosis is to essential to correctly treat and avoid long-term complications such as pain, stiffness, and loss of function. Case Report: We present the case of a 16-year-old male with an acute isolated DRUJ dislocation following a sporting injury. The patient was referred to our major trauma center from a tertiary orthopaedic unit following failed closed reduction (CR). Successful CR was performed in our department. Temporary casting and early rehab with physiotherapy gave the patient good functional results with full recovery at 3 months. Conclusion: Careful history and examination, as well as appropriate imaging, including true anterioposterior and lateral radiographs +/- computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, is need to accurately diagnosis this injury. Consider this injury in a patient with difficulty in supination/pronation with reported wrist pain following trauma.
