Management of an Adult Open Diaphyseal Both-Bone Forearm Fracture With Severe Bone Loss: A Case Report, Literature Review, and Surgical Techniques.
Article in Cureus, 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
Open forearm fractures involving both the radius and ulna are challenging orthopedic injuries, typically resulting from high-energy impacts. These injuries require complex surgical interventions, such as open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or intramedullary nailing, and often necessitate multiple approaches due to the proximity of neurovascular structures. Severe cases can lead to complications such as infection, nonunion, and functional impairment of the limb. Here, we present the case of a 42-year-old male who sustained multiple injuries in a motor vehicle accident, including an open comminuted both-bone forearm fracture with severe bone loss. The fracture was initially managed at a local hospital with external fixation before the patient was transferred to a higher-level trauma center for definitive fixation. He subsequently underwent ORIF with bone grafting due to the extent of bone loss. This case highlights surgical techniques used in the management of open forearm fractures with severe comminution and bone loss.
