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

Pediatric proximal humerus fractures are an uncommon injury; fracture-dislocations are even more rare. These are most often Salter-Harris (SH) type I or II injuries, and they rarely require operative intervention. This report details the management of an SH III fracture-dislocation in a 10-year-old. The incarcerated articular fragment necessitated an open reduction and was stabilized with percutaneous Kirschner wires. At the one-year follow-up, the patient has regained a full range of motion, and there are no signs of avascular necrosis. The current study adds to the paucity of literature on the management and outcomes of an exceedingly rare injury.
