Functional Outcome of Intra-Articular Fracture of Distal End Radius Treated with External Fixator; A Prospective Study.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fracture distal end radius is one of the most common fracture treated in orthopedic emergencies. Nearly 1/6th (16%) of all fractures in orthopedic emergencies involve the distal end of the Radius. This is a prospective-interventional study conducted in the department of Orthopedic Surgery, Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Mangolpuri, New Delhi with a sample size of the study is thirty patients treated with an external fixator from January 2021 to June 2022. Out of 30 patients, the number of female patients was 16 (53.33%) and the number of male patients was 14 (46.67%). The mean age of the patient was 50.5 years. 27 (90%) out of 30 patients were right-handed people which was a common behavioral finding and thus we expect more right side distal radius fracture in our study. Functional outcome was evaluated with the Gartland & Werley scoring system. 14 patients (46.67%) showed excellent results, 11 patients (36.67%) showed good, 3 patients (10%) showed fair, whereas 2 (6.67%) patients showed poor results. Stiffness was the most common complication seen in 6 patients (20%). From this study, it is concluded that an external fixator is a simple, safe, and cost-effective method for the treatment of distal end radius fracture with a lesser duration of hospital stay. It reduces the fracture by means of ligamentotaxis and maintains the reduction as well as restores the radial length without interfering with the fracture healing process.
