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

Bosworth fracture-dislocation is a rare and complicated type of ankle fracture accounting for 1.5 % of all ankle fractures. Diagnosis and treatment are often complex and attention is required to ensure favorable outcomes. We report here a case of a Bosworth fracture-dislocation with incarceration of the distal fibular fracture in a Volkmann's fragment of the in an 18-year-old male who fell from his motorcycle at low velocity causing a supination and external rotation of the foot. The fracture dislocation was initially reduced with a novel minimally invasive technique immediately followed by application of an external fixator and definitive osteosynthesis a few days later. Postoperatively the patient showed excellent functional recovery and was able to return to activities of daily life and high-level sporting activity.
