Comparative analysis of adolescent intramedullary nailing and locking plate fixation for femoral shaft fractures.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. 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
Background: Femoral shaft fractures in adolescents are commonly treated with either antegrade intramedullary nailing (AIN) or lateral plate (LP) fixation. This study compared the clinical outcomes of these two methods. Methods: Adolescent patients with femoral shaft fractures were randomly assigned to either the AIN group ( Results: The AIN group had significantly shorter incision lengths (6.8 vs. 8.5 cm, Conclusions: AIN offers significant advantages over LP in treating adolescent femoral shaft fractures, including reduced surgical trauma, faster early recovery, lower inflammatory response, less postoperative pain, and enhanced bone healing.
