Early Failure of Locking Compression Plates in Pediatric Proximal Femoral Fracture.
Article in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Key Concepts: •Proximal femoral fractures account for less than 1% of all fractures in children.•Locking compression plates are being more frequently used in pediatric proximal femoral fractures.•Outcome studies are limited because of the low incidence of these fractures and relative recent introduction of this fixation method.•Proximal femoral compression locking plates had a higher rate of early mechanical failure than other fixation modalities in this study.•The increased risk of failure with proximal femoral compression locking plates should be considered before opting for these implants.
