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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the use of combined parallax-free panoramic X-ray imaging during surgery by enabling the mobile C-arm with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) in the management of proximal humeral shaft fractures.

aimTo evaluate parallax-free panoramic X-ray images during surgery.

methodsA retrospective series of 17 proximal humeral shaft fractures were treated using combined parallax-free panoramic X-ray imaging during surgery by enabling the mobile C-arm with MIPO. The operating time and radiation exposure time were recorded, and early postoperative physical therapy and partial weight bearing were encouraged. Patients were followed at regular intervals and evaluated radiographically and clinically.

resultsThe mean operating time and radiation time were 73 (range, 49-95) minutes and 57 (range: 36-98) seconds, respectively. No complications occurred during the operation. All fractures healed at an average of 16.9 (range: 15-23) weeks. The average Constant-Murley score for all the patients was 89.5 (range: 75-100) points. None of the patients showed symptoms of vascular or nerve damage or wound infection. Three months after the operation, none of the patients developed subacromial impingement syndrome. No loosening or fracture of the implants occurred. The frontal and lateral radiographs showed good alignment.

conclusionWe consider that MIPO with combined parallax-free panoramic X-ray imaging during surgery is an efficient method for treating proximal humeral shaft fractures, and could significantly reduce operative morbidity as well as lower the rate of intra- and postoperative complications.
