Novel Technique for Fracture Non-Union in Children - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Pediatric fracture non-union is more common than generally expected. The risk factors are similar to those in adults, and treatment remains equally challenging. Surgery is almost always necessary to restart the healing process. One of the conservative options now being used is low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). It has been applied both in fresh fractures to stimulate all stages of healing and in non-unions, working by promoting repair at the molecular level. Case Report: We present a case of a distal one-third humeral shaft fracture in a child that developed atrophic non-union and was treated with LIPUS. Therapy was initiated, and sequential radiographs were evaluated for healing. Encouraging signs of union were seen at 3 months, with successful fracture union at 6 months. Conclusion: This was the 1st time LIPUS was used in India for the management of pediatric fracture non-union. While several studies have demonstrated the use of LIPUS in adult non-unions, little literature exists regarding its use in children. Even though this is a single case report, we hope it will encourage further trials and research and help establish LIPUS as a novel technique for managing pediatric fracture non-union.
