Neglected Elbow Dislocation: A Retrospective Look at Functional Recovery with Posterior Approach Surgery.
Article in Malaysian orthopaedic journal, 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: Elbow dislocation is the second most frequent joint dislocation after the shoulder. In developing nations, untreated elbow dislocations are common, making management of neglected cases particularly challenging. Treatment approaches depend on the time since injury and the patient's age. This study evaluates the outcomes of posterior approach surgery for neglected elbow dislocations. Results: A total of 23 patients, predominantly male adults, underwent posterior approach surgery. The average time from onset to surgery was 7.83 months. Post-operative outcomes showed satisfactory results, with mean DASH and MEPI scores of 15.32 and 90, respectively. Conclusion: Neglected elbow dislocations primarily affect adult males. The posterior approach offers several advantages and yields good functional outcomes, as demonstrated by DASH and MEPI scores.
