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

This case series reports on the outcomes of eight patients with Weber B and Weber C fibular fractures, with or without associated tibial fractures, treated using the Trauhui fibular nail (Trauhui Medical, Jiangsu, China), the only fibular intramedullary nail currently available in Malaysia. All procedures were performed by a single surgeon at a single center between April and October 2024. Clinical and radiological union was achieved in seven of the eight patients, with a mean union time of 10 weeks. One patient developed a nonunion. Additionally, one case of superficial surgical site infection was observed. At the six-month follow-up, functional outcomes were favorable, with a mean American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score of 85 and a mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score of one. These findings suggest that the fibular nail is a generally safe and effective treatment option for Weber B and C fibular fractures.
