Risk Factors for Loss to Follow Up in Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures.

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
Background: This study seeks to analyze risk factors associated with loss to follow up (LTF) after pin pull in pediatric patients with operatively treated supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHF). Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients under 18 years with operative SCHF from 2010 to 2020 was conducted. Factors of interest included LTF, age, race, language, distance to the hospital, Gartland fracture type, and Social Deprivation Index (SDI) by ZIP code. Univariate logistic regression was performed for each independent variable and significant variables were additionally analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Six hundred ninety-eight patients were included in the study. LTF was 27.8% (194/698). There was a significant difference in LTF between White and non-White (21.5% vs 31.8%, Conclusions: Higher social deprivation scores and younger age were associated with LTF in surgically treated pediatric SCHF at this institution. Key Concepts: (1)Patients with higher Social Deprivation Index scores by ZIP code and younger age have higher rates of loss to follow up after pin pull for operatively managed supracondylar humerus fractures.(2)No differences in complications were seen in the loss to the follow-up group compared with those in the group that follow up. Level of Evidence: III.
