Bioabsorbable fixation of a pediatric trochlear notch chondral injury.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
An 8-year-old girl fell onto her outstretched arm, sustaining proximal ulna and radial neck fractures. After closed reduction and casting in the emergency department, radiographs showed improved alignment but limited bony detail. A CT scan performed 3 days later demonstrated 18° apex-medial angulation of the radial neck, slight radiocapitellar subluxation, and subtle calcification near the trochlear notch, concerning intra-articular injury. Surgical exploration revealed a large cartilaginous shear fracture of the trochlear notch involving the coronoid. The fragment was anatomically reduced and fixed with bioabsorbable chondral fixation darts, and the olecranon was stabilized using Kirschner wires and a tension-band construct. Early follow-up demonstrated a functional range of motion without pain. Chondral shear injuries of the trochlear notch in children are rare lesions. Early recognition and fixation can restore joint congruity and function. Bioabsorbable implants offer a viable solution, even when the subchondral bone is minimal.
