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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using intraoperative fracture stability as the primary criterion for selecting cast immobilization over internal fixation following percutaneous reduction of pediatric radial neck fractures. Methods: This retrospective cohort study, conducted in strict compliance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines, analyzed data from 126 skeletally immature patients treated at a tertiary pediatric trauma center between 2017 and 2024. The cohort included two distinct treatment groups: 56 cases managed with PKWLR-CI and 70 cases treated with PKWLR-EIMN. Results: The two cohorts demonstrated comparable baseline angulation (42.3° ± 8.1 vs. 44.7° ± 9.6, Conclusions: In this retrospective study, PKWLR-CI was associated with clinical outcomes that were comparable to those of PKWLR-EIMN for Metaizeau-Judet type II-IV fractures when intraoperative stability criteria are met. In this cohort, the selective use of PKWLR-CI avoided the need for implant removal surgeries and was associated with a 38% reduction in operative time and a 28% reduction in hospitalization costs, highlighting the critical role of periosteal hinge integrity in maintaining reduction.
