Bilateral simultaneous distal radius fractures with elbow dislocations following a fall from height: A rare orthopedic quadruple injury with review of the literature.

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
Introduction: Distal radius fractures and elbow dislocations are commonly encountered as isolated injuries. However, bilateral simultaneous occurrence is exceedingly rare, typically linked with high-energy trauma. Such injury combinations require prompt diagnosis and an individualized management strategy. Case Report: We report a case of a 42-year-old male laborer who sustained bilateral distal radius fractures (AO/OTA 23-C2) with simultaneous posterior dislocation of both elbow joints following a fall from approximately 10 feet. The elbow dislocations were managed with immediate closed reduction. Definitive fixation of both distal radius fractures was performed using volar locking plates. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient achieved good functional recovery and returned to manual work with minor limitations. Conclusion: Bilateral elbow dislocations with simultaneous distal radius fractures are extremely rare. Prompt recognition, appropriate surgical intervention, and structured rehabilitation are essential to restore function and prevent long-term disability.
