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

Galeazzi injuries are rare in early childhood and may be missed at initial presentation. Undiagnosed instability of the distal radioulnar joint can lead to progressive deformity and functional impairment. We report a rare case of Galeazzi injury in early childhood that led to progressive wrist malalignment during growth. Over the years this resulted in a severe restriction of forearm rotation. Using computed tomography-based three-dimensional analysis, a multiplanar corrective osteotomy was planned with reference to the contralateral healthy side. The procedure reduced the initial supination deficit of 120° to 20° and restored excellent wrist function. Missed Galeazzi injuries in early childhood can result in progressive deformity and significant long-term functional limitations. Advanced three-dimensional imaging enables accurate analysis of complex deformities and facilitates corrective osteotomy. Even in delayed presentations, satisfactory functional recovery can be achieved with appropriate surgical planning.
