Evidence-based treatment strategies and a systematic review of AO/OTA type C2 intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus in pediatric and adolescent populations.

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
Objective: This study seeks to assess the clinical outcomes associated with closed reduction with percutaneous pinning (CRPP) in comparison to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for AO/OTA Type C2 distal humeral intercondylar fractures in pediatric and adolescent populations. A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify strategies that facilitate rapid recovery of elbow function and prevent complications. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 36 cases that were treated and followed up from November 2015 to September 2023. In addition, a systematic review of the literature was performed, covering the period from 1958 to 2025. Providing aggregated data on 62 pediatric patients. Radiological parameters, including the Baumann angle, lateral humeral condylar angle, and horizontal rotation rate, were measured using AutoCAD software. Postoperative functional outcomes were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), elbow range of motion, and the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS). Complications such as heterotopic ossification and trochlear necrosis were also monitored. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 24.71 ± 20.19 months, with all cases achieving clinical union within 6-8 weeks post-surgery. The CRPP group exhibited a significantly shorter operative time (34.28 ± 8.74 min vs. 54.67 ± 10.96 min) and reduced fluoroscopic exposure (24 ± 9 vs. 11 ± 3 instances) compared to the ORIF group (both Conclusion: CRPP demonstrates non-inferiority to ORIF in achieving functional recovery, with advantages in operative efficiency for select cases.
