Partial Tear of the Common Flexor Tendon and Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament in a Six-Year-Old After a Minor Traumatic Injury: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Acute traumatic medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) injury, associated with a high-grade sprain of the common flexor tendon and a low-grade sprain of the annular ligament, is an uncommon occurrence in the non-athletic pediatric demographic. At present, there is a lack of high-quality, evidence-based research that details comparable injuries. Furthermore, to our knowledge, there are no established guidelines that provide direction for the optimal treatment of this specific injury. We report a case involving a six-year-old boy who suffered an acute traumatic MUCL injury to his right elbow. This injury was associated with a high-grade injury to the common flexor tendon, alongside a low-grade sprain of the annular ligament and a minor tear of the ulnar nerve. The patient exhibited persistent pain and a limited range of motion. He received treatment that included a brief period of immobilization, after which he gradually resumed his daily activities without any restrictions. Follow-up visits after one month and three months indicated a complete resolution of pain and a full recovery of the elbow's range of motion.
