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

Coccyx fracture-dislocation is a common injury encountered in emergency trauma surgery, often resulting from direct impact. For the majority of patients, conservative treatment is recommended and can alleviate the pain associated with the injury. However, some patients respond poorly to conservative therapy and develop chronic, intractable sacrococcygeal pain. Advancements in clinical practice have resulted in the development of various treatment modalities for coccyx fracture-dislocation, including pulsed radiofrequency therapy, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, local drug injections, surgical treatments and conventional lateral recumbency combined with oral analgesia. The present review summarizes the literature on coccyx fracture-dislocation, including information on its epidemiology, anatomy, etiology, diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the review is to serve as a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of coccyx fracture-dislocation.
