Compartment Syndrome of the Pediatric Upper Extremity: Current Concepts.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pediatric compartment syndrome of the upper extremity is a rare but urgent surgical condition requiring timely diagnosis and intervention to prevent permanent damage. This review synthesizes current evidence on epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies. Despite diagnostic delays and variability in treatment timing including delayed fasciotomy, functional outcomes in children are generally favorable with >80% full functional recovery in most series. However, significant gaps remain in evidence-based guidelines, with the most critical being risk factors, diagnostic thresholds, and optimal wound closure techniques.
