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

Ankle fractures comprise up to 10% of fracture cases in adults. Ankle fractures frequently require surgical treatment to prevent posttraumatic osteoarthritis in the future. One of the most complex patterns is the pilon type of ankle fracture. It is commonly associated with high complication rates. When the foot is in a neutral position, a pure compression force leads to a central depression type of tibial plafond fracture. Traditionally, it is managed by open reduction and internal fixation, which requires large incisions and more soft-tissue dissection. The central depression is difficult to approach with traditional open surgery, especially when the anterior tibial cortex is intact. Further extension of surgical wound may be needed to tackle the distal tibial shaft fracture as well. With recent development on minimally invasive technique, this fracture can be successfully managed with an arthroscopic approach using multiple stab incisions. In this Technical Note, we present a full percutaneous approach to manage this type of injury using jail screw technique with arthroscopy.
