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

Fractures of the trapezium occur infrequently, accounting for only 3.5 % of all carpal fractures. Trapezium fractures with concomitant Bennett's fracture-dislocations are exceedingly rare without a consensus on treatment recommendations. Here, we present a case of a simultaneous Bennett's fracture with a trapezium fracture in a pediatric patient. Our patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Clinically, the patient was pain free with range of motion comparable to his uninjured side and without joint instability. A review of the literature reveals only twelve other cases reported in adult patients all of which were male with an average age of twenty-eight at the time of injury. Open reduction is the most popular treatment approach, but closed reduction can also be utilized with success in these injuries. While there is a large degree of heterogeneity of outcome reporting methodology, most patients have satisfactory outcomes and return to function comparable to their contralateral side.
