Three-wire technique for irreducible extension type Supracondylar humeral fracture in children.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 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
backgroundIrreducible extension type supracondylar humeral fracture [ESCHF] accounts for 3-15% of cases and often requires open reduction, which carries the risk of complications. This study describes and reports the outcomes of the three-wire technique for treating irreducible ESCHF.
methodsTwenty patients with irreducible ESCHF (8 girls and 12 boys) underwent closed reduction and percutaneous pinning using the three-wire technique. We inserted two K-wires in an unreduced position in the distal fragment and one proximal wire just above the olecranon fossa and used these three wires for manipulation and correction of sagittal, coronal, and rotational deformities at the fracture site.
resultsAll the fractures achieved acceptable closed reduction, with a mean operation time of 32.65 min. Radiological assessments showed favorable outcomes: the mean Baumann angle was 70.05 ± 1.70 degrees, the average carrying angle was 12.95 degrees, and the anterior humeral line dissected the capitellum at the middle third in 16 patients and at the anterior third in 4 patients. The complications included mild pin tract infections in five patients, all of which resolved within one week after K-wire removal.
conclusionThe three-wire technique is effective for managing irreducible ESCHF, providing good outcomes while avoiding the risks associated with open reduction.
